Ravi Raman likens his arrival in America at the age of five to TV going from black and white to 8K Ultra HD. Inundated by pop culture—both American and international—he consumed it all with such voracious fervor that its influences still permeate each of his paintings.

Raman’s works make frequent nods to 1960s and ‘70s nostalgia that reveal his penchant for arresting colors as well as an ever-present tinge of the rock & roll ethos.

Raman draws inspiration for his paintings from disparate sources. Influences as expansive as Picasso and Warhol, Jagger and Richards, and Hemingway and Fitzgerald all collide on his canvas.

Raman’s works have been shown at solo and group exhibits at venues and galleries in New York City, Miami, Cape Cod, as well as in the Washington, DC region.  His Love In Six Lines series has been featured as large-size, street-art murals in various neighborhoods in Washington, DC. He has also collaborated with luxury brands such as Porsche.
