I was thinking about violent acts, such as 9/11, and the pain and destruction they leave behind. I got to think about the people that survive such horrors. I painted this composition in their honor, because it is admirable how, through their strength and determination, they have been reborn, Joaquin Ramos tells us. Painting with oils and carbon pencil, he transforms the canvas into an expression of concern for current affairs and their impact on the world. Titled Renacer in Spanish.
