“Fiber” by, Oscar Ramos Rodriguez.

“My work explores the intersections of quilting, collage and sculpture. I combine techniques such as fabric collage, piecing, applique, and quilting to create works rich in color and texture. My pieces are primarily fabric, overlaid with ‘thread-painting’, enhancing the color, texture, and detail.”

Oscar Ramos Rodriguez is a Cuban-American fiber artist based in Los Angeles, California. His work is diverse and includes art quilts and figurative painting on textile surfaces.
