American contemporary artist

Paul Henry Ramirez (born 1963 in El Paso, Texas, U.S.) is an American contemporary artist known for his biomorphic abstractionist paintings.^[1] As his figural based paintings evolved to include geometrics, in 2010, Ramirez coined the term "biogeomorphic abstraction"^[2] to describe his own bold painting style, a fusion of biomorphic and geometric forms.

He also gained notability for his site-specific installations as his paintings began to expand outside the confines of the canvas edges onto the walls of the gallery space. These site-specific installations gradually evolved to encompass the whole gallery space, creating a full environmental experience.

Donald Kuspit, scholar and art critic, describes Ramirez as “an important new kind of abstract painter .
