Daniel Lind-Ramos (born 1953) is an African-Puerto Rican painter and sculptor who lives and works in Puerto Rico.[2][3]
Life
Lind-Ramos was born in 1953 in Loíza, a coastal town in Puerto Rico. He studied painting at the University of Puerto Rico in 1975 and in 1980 he graduated from NYU with a master’s of art degree.[4] In addition to his studio practice, Lind-Ramos also currently teaches in the Humanities Department at the University of Puerto Rico-Humacao.[5]
Artistic practice
Lind-Ramos paints on canvas with oil using traditional and uncommon applications techniques from brushes to spatulas.[2] He also works with recycled or reused materials such as cardboard, wire screen, discarded appliances, car parts, the foliage of coconut palm trees, broken musical instruments and other used items.[2]
He was described as the "breakout star" of the 2019 Whitney Biennial, and the New York Times wrote that his sculpture Maria Maria exemplified the pieces in the Biennial that "reassert the power of spirituality."[6][7] Critic Holland Cotter elaborated on the sculpture, explaining how Lind-Ramos "creat[ed] from wood, beads, coconuts and a blue FEMA tarp, a figure that is both the Virgin Mary and personification of the hurricane that devastated the island in 2017 ... the piece looks presidingly majestic."[6][8]
