Héctor Ramírez Punta de Mata, Venezuela, b. 1955.

He graduated in different schools of drawing, painting and design before specializing in the techniques of serigraphy and photo-screen printing at the Carlos Cruz-Diez Museum of Print and Design, in Caracas. In 1984 he joined the art and scasting studios of Secundino Rivera, Biaggio Campanella and Cornelius Zitmann, where he learned various sculpture techniques. For almost two decades he was a direct collaborator of Carlos Cruz-Diez in his studio in Caracas.

In his artistic work, the interest is focused on the volume: by superimposing lines that curve to generate circular forms by accumulation, Ramírez creates spherical volumes that seem to float in space. They are then virtual volumes that sometimes appear to exceed the physical space of the support, and at other times sink beyond its inner limit.

Concave or convex spaces, and displacements in different directions, are some of the possibilities achieved by the artist, who seeks to emulate different energy conditions in the cosmos, through the behavior of light inside his Spheres.
