“STUDY FOR SONATA is the body of the sense of Self-Awareness: self perception and
visualization. The main figure of a complex composition I have been developing
for years where I attempt once again to walk the bridge that connects painting and
music. The figure invites us to “Think of a way to find oneself” - Angel Ramiro Sanchez



Biography:
Angel Ramiro Sanchez was born in 1974 in Maracaibo, Venezuela. At age six was
accepted with full scholarship into the Instituto the Niños Cantores del Zulia,
school for musically gifted children. At age fourteen he began five years of
apprenticeship with the realist painter, Abdon J. Romero, an eminent specialist in
murals for churches and public buildings. In 1993, a study grant from Mgr.
Gustavo Ocando Yamarte, Founder the Niños Cantores, enabled him to travel to
Florence, Italy, where he studied at the renowned Accademia di Belle Arti,
graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1997. At the same time, he was enrolled at The
Florence Academy of Art, founded by painter Daniel Graves, where he received a
diploma in Painting. Ramiro was appointed senior painting instructor at The
Florence Academy of Art in 1997, and is currently Director of the Advanced
Painting Program.
Ramiro paints only from life, searching for accuracy beyond physical appearance
to reach the psychological state of his subject. He believes the painter must draw
his information from "all five senses" to tell the complete human story.
Ramiro’s work is predominantly represented by the Grenning Gallery in Sag
Harbor, New York, Scriba Gallery, venice, Italy and the Jack Meier Gallery,
Houston, Tx.
Since 2018 Ramiro has been working on the decoration of the drum for Saint
Bede’s Catholic Church in Williamsburg, VA. Further developing his art for mosaic
design and public work.

The United States and South America. Public collections include: The Fondazione
Stelline, Milan, Italy. The Fremantle Foundation for Foreing Artist in Tuscany at
Villa Peyron, Florence, Italy and The Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of
William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA. USA. And the suffolk county historical society
museum, Long island, NY. USA

Franklin-Sanchez and their two children Rafael and Iris.
