Manny Ramirez
Murals · Bronx, NY
Manuel “Manny” Ramirez is a muralist from the Bronx, New York, who paints large-scale works in water-based paint. He joined Manchester AIR at The Factory on Willow in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the Fall 2021 session alongside his creative partner, Cecilia Ulibarri.
About the work
Ramirez’s murals are known for their bold color and vivid, lifelike rendering of faces, especially eyes, which give his figures a striking sense of presence. His art carries a distinct tone across every surface he paints.
Ramirez is co-founder and creative director of Positive Street Art, a nonprofit based in Nashua, New Hampshire, that challenges perceptions of graffiti and hip hop culture and connects artists with walls and public projects across the community. The organization began with a pitch to put up temporary art walls where residents could express themselves, and its work has since grown well beyond those first walls.
