From the moment his hands touched his first box of Crayola crayons at age seven, Francisco Javier Ramirez, known as "Cisco," knew his path was to be an artist. This childhood passion blossomed into a professional career in 2003, establishing him as a distinctive voice in abstract and contemporary art. Primarily working in acrylics, Cisco masterfully incorporates chalk, pastels, and watercolors, creating multi-layered works that are deeply influenced by the day's events and emotions. His art is a vivid celebration of color, unapologetically utilized to convey the world as he experiences it. Though largely self-taught, Cisco has honed his craft under the guidance of several esteemed artists, developing a unique style that resonates globally. His paintings grace numerous businesses, restaurants, and homes throughout Minneapolis, Minnesota, and are held in private collections across the United States and internationally. For Cisco, every piece is an invitation for personal interpretation, reflecting his belief that "Colors make the world beautiful!" and that creativity in all its forms resides within everyone.
