Lalo Ramirez

LaloRam is a Colombian artist who circulates between various fields of the artistic/photographic, editorial and social/cultural production. Graduated in photography and graphic design from the Universidad of Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, he works generally focused on social and aesthetic problematics, conducting research and then taking them to the artistic/photographic level. Most of his work deals with violence and identity in Colombia, as well as other realities like immigration in the North of America and the current beauty canons.
He considers himself a very versatile professional by not only focusing on certain areas of photography but on the contrary, he is a lover of approaching the profession from its very varied and different perspectives. For example right now he is experimenting with public art
Currently he is performing a book about social identity in his birth city Bogota (Bogotipia project) working in the Venezuelan Exodus and making a series of anti patriotic Colombian photographic portraits.
His research and artistic production is oriented towards the use of art as an element of social construction.
