Rebeca Ramírez is a visual artist who studied at the National School of Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking “La Esmeralda” and the Faculty of Art and Design at UNAM. Her practice encompasses ceramics, expanded drawing, installation, jewelry, and gardening, exploring the tensions between desire, care, control, and nature.
Part of her imagery stems from family memories linked to her great-grandparents’ village in Oaxaca: the plants, oral narratives, and childhood experiences that shaped her relationship with the plant world. From there, she investigates the power dynamics between the human and the natural, constructing atmospheres where the boundaries between the organic and the artificial blur, giving rise to work imbued with the sensuality and mystical-erotic character of nature.
She began her artistic studies during the pandemic, first enrolling at UNAM and later at La Esmeralda, an environment that solidified her interest in materiality, living processes, and the affective relationships between the body and the environment.
Her work has been featured in various exhibitions, including the notable “Intuitive Manual: Do Not Use Saliva or Blow on the Pieces,” curated by PETRA at the Carrillo Gil Art Museum. She has also participated in art fairs such as Material Vol. 12, as part of Art Week 2026 in Mexico City, and TRÁMITE | Collectors’ Bureau.
