Statement from the artist: “At heart I am a Costa Rican artist; as well as an artist that is easily board. I am a personal explorer generally unconcerned with international trends or even conventional techniques. I advance my aesthetic through the depiction of my own life, my experience and memories. There is nothing I want to say to the world beyond what is common in our humanity and exceptional in the human experience of the natural world.”

- "TOAST TO THE SEA"By Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "TOAST TO THE SEA" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2008 40 X 30 INCHES Toast to the sea is a depiction of the beautiful women at Miami beaches, sunny days, drinks, and having a good moment feeling. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...Category

- "SYMPHONY IN D-MINOR"By Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "SYMPHONY IN D-MINOR" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2005 40 X 30 INCHES Symphony in D Minor is the "music" Cuban people have to perform every day to survive a decadent system that has pushed people to the limit. A prostitute looking for living on the street, a musician playing for no tourist, a rounded stage that depicts the enclosing system from where you cannot escape, vigilant red birds are the government-symbol watching everywhere, controlling your miserable life. -D- minor instead of a chord is Destruction, Deplorable. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983.

- PatchesBy Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "PATCHES" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2012 40 X 30 INCHES Patches symbolize the destruction and erosion of Cuba. A ruined country stitched together by patches that blend the society like an old rag pant.
