A conversation with Ramiro Sanchez, an Venezuelan multidisciplinary artist currently practicing in Florence, Italy. Sanchez began his creative career as a gifted music student, participating in choir and the viola at a selective Jesuit school in Venezuela, Niños Cantores del Zulia. Inspired by the rich practice of Latin-American muralism, Sanchez pivoted to visual arts at the age of 13. Through extreme determination, and with only a gifted plane ticket, Sanchez relocated to study at Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence at the age of 19. Sanchez continued his education at the Florence Academy of Art, where he was invited to profess, and is now the Director of the Advanced Painting Program. Sanchez is currently in final years of a decade-spanning commission - the adornment of Saint Bede Catholic Church, is Williamsburg, Virginia.
