Today we’d like to introduce you to Lisandra Ramos.
Hi Lisandra, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I graduated in industrial design, but it was in the world of costume and the performing arts where I truly found my voice. For over ten years, I led costume departments and worked on international co-productions for film, short films, dance, and theater. When I moved to this country, I reinvented myself from that same creative drive and began expanding my visual language through mural art, graphic design, and interior installations. Each project is a way to translate my journey into new visual narratives.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The beginning is never easy. After so many years invested in my profession—building knowledge, experience, and identity—starting over in a new country felt like watching it all vanish in a second. I had to begin again almost from zero, proving what I was capable of, adapting to a completely different context, and transforming myself without losing my essence. It’s a constant balance between resilience and reinvention, between holding on to your creative roots and allowing yourself to grow in unexpected directions.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My work is deeply shaped by adaptability. I approach each project as a unique opportunity to respond to the needs of the client and the character of the space. I’ve created everything from murals and tapestries to music posters and canvas paintings—each one a challenge that I embrace with joy and curiosity. What truly sets me apart is my background in textiles; it’s my comfort zone, my language, and the place where I feel most free. Through fabric, I find infinite possibilities to express texture, movement, and emotion.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
I’m deeply inspired by printed materials—books still hold a special kind of magic for me. Whenever I start a new project, I find myself going back to physical books for visual references and creative sparks. Two that I always return to and would highly recommend are A Dictionary of Color Combinations by Sanzo Wada—an artist, teacher, and costume designer from Japan whose palettes are timeless—and Bauhaus by Taschen, a rich and visual exploration of one of the most influential design movements. Both continue to shape the way I think about form, color, and composition.
