Daniel Ramos
Daniel Ramos creates 3-dimensional sculptures, large-scale collages, and mixed media installations. Early on in his career, Ramos decided that the people in his life–family, friends, co-workers–would be the subjects of his work. He uses photography as a vehicle to amplify their presence in the world, and has recently began moving beyond the single image convention of picture making.
Daniel Ramos has exhibited work at Artpace San Antonio and Center for Photography at Woodstock, among others.

Anna Estarriola
Anna Estarriola is interested in the exchanges and interactions between visual and media arts with other disciplines, including performing arts and technology. The themes of her work revolve around perception of reality, individual and communal behavior, and communication. She uses cross-disciplinary narrative structures that explore and question the union of content, medium and context. Over the last years, she has created media installation works combining sculptures and moving image with dramaturgy, mechanics and electronics.
Anna Estarriola has exhibited work at Galerie Anhava, Helsinki; Pori Art Museum, Finland; and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki, among others.
