Pedro traditionally hand drew countless drawings, one after another,
to create flowing movement and bring characters to life, as is now
apparent in his sculptures. He became an accomplished and well-seasoned
animator.
While working and living throughout Europe, Pedro became closely influenced
by the classic art of the Great Masters. He took every opportunity
to immerse himself in the works of his favorite Renaissance Masters,
spending
much time in Italy.
When presented with a work opportunity in Los Angeles, California,
he took it, knowing he would be close to the land of the people and culture
he has had a life long fascination with, the great land where the history
of the Native American Tribes took place.
Even though Pedro enjoyed his work as an animator, his true passion
has always been sculpting. Now, as a full time sculptor, he satisfies
that
passion daily. Because of his years of animation background, he acquired
an extensive knowledge of motion and gesture. Pedro is able to capture
the feeling and emotion of a story in a single frame, leaving the viewer
to imagine the completion of the movement.
Pedro Ramos’s sculptures develop from a vision, which often captures
and freezes a crucial moment in time. The moment may be intense, dynamic
or flowing. “Having a strong affinity for dynamic action and an
admiration for the free spirit, I use these elements to help my sculptures
tell their stories. My intention is to evoke stillness in the viewer
while my sculptures are moving with either motion or emotion.” Pedro
usually has two to three sculptures in progress at a time.“I feel
privileged to be here, on this land. As I explore this diverse country,
especially the Great Plains, I am filled with countless images and feelings.
The vast space, open sky
and rolling hills offer a taste of what life may have been like for the
deep and complex
societies of the Plains Tribes. As I research the culture, names, scenes
and battles, visions come to me. The more I learn, the more I want to
know. Often, I feel a sense of familiarity, especially towards what has
been written about the Plains Tribe’s values and entire belief
system, honor being of the utmost importance. I pay homage to the native
people of this land, with the highest respect and admiration
by sculpting and creating the visions I see.”
Pedro won the 1st place Gold Award for Sculpture 2008 at
the National Western Art Exhibition, San Dimas, CA.
