Lily Ramírez (b. 1991, Los Angeles) is a Mexican-American painter known for her distinctive “mark-making” style, transforming abstract lines and vivid color into dynamic aerial maps of landscapes and environments. Beneath the intricate compositions, her work carries deeper personal narratives, subtly encoded in the evocative titles of each piece—titles that poetically intertwine with core memories from her own life.
Raised in South Central Los Angeles, Ramírez developed a keen ability to recognize beauty in often-overlooked spaces, a perspective that informs her artistic practice. Her work serves as a conduit for both aesthetic and emotional honesty. She has exhibited widely, including solo shows at Simchowitz in Los Angeles and group exhibitions at Various Small Fires, Charlie James, and, most recently, Mrs. Gallery in New York. Ramírez continues to live and work in Los Angeles.
