Pedro Trueba Ramírez
Using a range of media that includes painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber work, and found objects, my work is a playful and surreal synthesis where reality mingles with imaginative absurdity to reframe the familiar. I construct narratives that blend personal and collective memory, weaving lessons and stories from friends and family with my life experiences.
Each work serves as a scene displayed on an intimate stage, an everyday setting where something unscripted might happen, even in stillness. The figures and objects are familiar fragments from life, reimagined in vivid detail. Working from memory, I distort dimensionality and color to capture moments that feel like close-up glimpses of larger narratives. Each scene becomes a symbolic fragment or synecdoche of an experience—a snapshot that invites the viewer to wonder at the world when it’s reframed through my distinct perspective.
