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.
