Carlos Ramirez, is a prominent Mexican-American, or Chicano, artist born in 1967 in the Coachella Valley of California. The son of migrant workers, his parents were originally from Mexico and followed agricultural routes for work; his mother even worked with civil rights leader Cesar Chavez during the grape boycott in the 1970s. These early experiences and his working-class Chicano upbringing deeply inform his unique art, which often highlights the struggles and resilience within Mexican-American communities and champions the common person.

For over a decade, Ramirez was half of the internationally recognized art duo "The Date Farmers" with Armando Lerma, exploring the Mexican-American experience and the identity of living between cultures. Since the duo began working independently in 2017, Ramirez has developed a solo career, creating mixed-media works that blend Mexican-American heritage with California pop culture. His paintings, collages, and sculptures are a multi-cultural mix infused with commercial references and socio-political content. Influences are drawn from a wide array of sources, including graffiti, Mexican street murals, prison art, low-rider and tattoo art, and even ancient indigenous art.

Ramirez's distinctive visual language is known for combining familiar pop iconography, such as Mickey Mouse or corporate logos, with figures from comics, folklore, and Catholicism. He often incorporates found materials like discarded packaging, stamps, and bottle caps, alongside desert creatures like coyotes and snakes, which appear frequently in his works. His pieces are known for their vibrant, "Mexican candy-colored" backgrounds, such as bright pinks and yellows, which contrast with the often serious subject matter of institutionalized racism and social inequality, reflecting an insistence on optimism and humor in the face of adversity. Ramirez has exhibited his work in museums and galleries across the US, including the Oakland Museum of California and the Palm Springs Art Museum.
