MARIANA RAMOS ORTIZ

Mariana Ramos Ortiz is a San Juan-based printmaker, born in 1997 in Puerto Rico. Her work explores the qualities of earth in relation to occupation, protection and temporality. She uses techniques such as UV prints on sand, stenciled earth and soil-based ink screen printing. In 2024 she was the exchange resident artist in CALA Alliance's Residencias Artísticas program in Phoenix, Arizona. During the residency she held an open studio, a block printing workshop and a Charla conversation. Her residency work was later shown in the 'Muddy Terrains' exhibition at ASU Art Museum with Estephania González.
