Pimar Ramos is a photographer and visual artist, born in 1987, a single mother to Nalu, and a resident of São Paulo, Brazil. With a degree in Photography and Visual Arts Education, her work is deeply shaped by personal experiences that resonate throughout her creations.

Photography entered her life after the loss of her father at the age of seven, serving as a means of connection and healing. At eight, she received her first camera and has been photographing ever since. Her art explores themes drawn from her reality, such as motherhood, gender-based violence, and the challenges and beauty of everyday life. Using her body as a tool for expression, her sensitive approach transforms photography into a powerful visual language, conveying her experiences with depth and beauty.

 

THEY WANTED ME SUBMISSIVE, BUT NOW I AM UNTAMEABLE

QUESTIONING MY SANITY

 
My artistic journey is deeply shaped by personal experiences that resonate throughout my work, particularly around themes of gender-based violence and solo motherhood, exploring their emotional impact and complexities. Black and white photography is an essential tool in my practice, adding depth and intensity to the issues I address. I use the technique of long exposure to convey the emotional layers and sensations that accompany my narratives, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the emotions and experiences I share through my self-portraits.
