Ramon Penaloza, “Malerei”
is a painter from Mexico City who has mastered the techniques of realism through oil paints for over 20 years. His ability to create Renaissance style works is a rare and bygone tradition, guaranteed to awe your guests and grace your home with timeless museum mastery.
It all began during a youthful trip to the Louvre: In plain youth, facing the voluptuous works of Bronzino and Jean Francois Picout, his devotion to painting was signed and sealed. Ramon dedicated the next decade of his life apprenticing the infamous Mexican painter Gilberto Aceves Navarro, where he studied the human form, portraiture and process of painting incessantly alongside him.
Like the Old Masters, Ramón hand-stretches his canvases and uses the finest quality oils, often hand-made from exotic pigments. He has travelled all over Mexico and the U.S. to create over thirty live wedding paintings. He revels in the vivacious challenge of capturing your evening on canvas and then mastering it in his studio to equate Victorian masterpieces. When not rendering these celebrations of love, he is creating large-scale abstract works, Nude portraits or mixing disco-electro vinyls in his studio.
