Natalia Ramos (b. 1993, Guadalajara, Mexico) is a visual artist based in Mexico City. Her practice centers on the fragment as a site of meaning with pieces that do not seek unity but exist in tension: partial, suspended, suggestive. Working primarily with high-fire ceramics, metal, and textiles, she creates inner landscapes that act as affective archives; translations of the intimate that resist full disclosure. Through modularity and assemblages, Ramos constructs an emotional syntax of dismemberment and proximity. Her practice inhabits the in-between: the moment before things come together or fall apart. In her installations, materials enact small negotiations of holding, leaning, opening spaces that remain unsettled.
Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Guadalajara90210 and momoroom, and has participated in group exhibitions at El Recinto, naranjo141, JO–HS, Guadalajara90210, Forma and Salón Cosa amongst others. In the past year, she developed a collaborative project with Museo Jumex as part of the Museos en Común program and developed three large-scale public sculptures for children at Museo JAPI – Jalisco Paseo Interactivo in Guadalajara. She also works as an illustrator for The New York Times, The New Yorker, Esther Perel and The School of Life. She holds a BA in Communication and Cinematography from Tecnológico de Monterrey and completed a postgraduate program in Art Direction at Elisava, Barcelona.
