Irving Ramo’s artistic practice explores how the boundaries of the body, territory, and collective myth are constructed and sustained through spectacle. His work investigates the persistent tension between desire and violence, a dynamic that has shaped visual culture since the earliest heroic representations. Even as technologies and contexts evolve, these images continue to reproduce archetypes of power.

Through painting and installation, Ramo reconfigures inherited forms such as the equestrian portrait and structures that evoke both the carousel and the machinery of war. By doing so, he exposes how entertainment, training, and conflict share a common spectacular logic. His installations become spaces where images collide, mutate, and return in continuous loops, revealing that tragedy and power are not distant events but active forces in contemporary life.

Within platforms such as CIFO, his research, rooted in Latin American colonial legacies, resonates beyond its local origins and opens pathways for broader global dialogue.
