Acrylic and Oil Pastel on Canvas

Abstract figurative painting by contemporary Houston-based artist Ramon Severino. The work is heavily referential of Jacques-Louis David's iconic Neoclassical painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" that features the titular Napoleon on a rearing horse making his way through the Great St. Bernard Pass. Severino's interpretation is decidedly more urban, featuring sky scrappers in the background and a central figure wearing sneakers and a baseball cap pointing to the word "conquer" in the upper left corner. Currently unframed, but options are available.

New Yorker- Latino living in Houston, TX, Ramon Severino (aka Severo) is a contemporary artist and graphic designer who combines fashion, logos, neo-expressionism, and street art with vivid colors in a rough, emotional way. Severo combines traditional and new painting techniques, influenced by old painters and designers such as Basquiat, Warhol, Frida, Milton Glaser, and more. Severo uses charcoal, acrylic, oil pastel, and spray cans to bring characters and shapes to life. Growing up with Latino pop culture and literature, Severo merges a lot of his artwork with his roots. His work has been exhibited in new York galleries and some Houston restaurants.
