Dear friends of art,

We cordially invite you to visit the interactive virtual exhibition “Studies” by Rafael Ramírez Máro!

Due to the ongoing pandemic, a real exhibition, which was originally planned with Mr. Ramírez Máro and Alejandro DeCinti, unfortunately cannot take place. In these times, however, we probably all think about a saying in particular: to make a virtue out of necessity. And so we came to the decision to let this exhibition – similar to the Beethoven exhibition in April last year – take place digitally in a smaller version.

As you may know, we have been representing Mr. Ramírez Máro as well as his father, with whom he forms the artist duo Antonio Máro, for quite some time. This time, however, we want to focus on his very own art, by taking particular look onto the studies that underlie the artist’s monumental works. Of course, some of the great works will also be on view, and you will find that the studies are an art form in their own right.

What makes the art of Rafael Ramírez Máro?  Dr. Helmut Orpel writes:

[…] Ramírez’s painting lives from deep sensations and their artistic representation. His works reveal his amazement at the limitless possibilities of art to transcend time and space and to penetrate into depths that remain hidden from the superficial gaze. The viewer is moved by the suggestive power of color and form. It is about the possibility of re-perceiving, of absorbing feelings across spaces and times. The painter directs the viewer’s attention to detail, to inconspicuous gestures that are expressed in a drama as well as in a musical composition or in the dance step of a flamenco dancer, which the artist captures with an expert eye. He stages key scenes that seem to reveal the meaning of existence.  […]

But it does not have to remain with a virtual tour through the exhibition:

If you are interested in one or more works, you can also test hang them in your own four walls for a few days, in which case we will of course be happy to advise you. We will be happy to send you the price list for the exhibition upon request. The studies can all be purchased with a matching frame.

This offer is of course non-binding and free of charge!

To visit the exhibition, simply follow the instructions below:

Rafael Ramírez Máro

Since the age of 12, Rafael Ramírez Máro has worked as an official collaborator in the studio of his father, the painter Antonio Máro. With him he realized many works for biennials (Venice / Sao Paolo etc.) and for important art fairs as well as public works for city halls (Hilden (2 × 6 meter oil painting) / Meinerzhagen (6 × 18 meter oil painting)), chapels (Salzburg A./Buchet D.).

He studied under Hannelore Köhler at the Academy of Düsseldorf, at the “Escuela Superior de Pintura St. Luc” in Liège, under Prof. Schaffmeister and Prof. Koller in Cologne and at the RWTH Aachen. His subjects were art history, philosophy and German philology in order to deepen his understanding in the great literary picture cycles.

He analyzed the old masters like Rubens, Van Dyck, Velázquez etc. in the great museums of the world. He is a member of the Fundación Arte y Autores Contemporáneos in Madrid.

Numerous exhibitions and portraits in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, the USA and Perú accompany his artistic career as well as participations in many important art fairs and collective exhibitions.

I’m looking forward to your visit!

Sincerely
Gabriele Paqué
