Kessler Ramirez Paints Famous Works of Art on Denim

Artists use all sorts of things as their canvas, and Kessler Ramirez chose one of the most unusual outlets out there. She became a true internet sensation after she started painting famous artworks on jeans and other denim pieces.

Ramirez kicked off this creative adventure in 2017, when she decided to combine her two hobbies into one—selling vintage jeans and art. She minored in history of art and architecture and stayed passionate about the subject after her graduation, which crucially impacted the way she adorns her jeans.   

The California-based artist could’ve easily opted for any subject matter, but decided to go with famous works of art. She wanted to go down this road because she sees it as the perfect opportunity to educate her followers about each painting she picks.

She paid homage to such artists as Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Johannes Vermeer, and presented their paintings in a whole new light. Check out some more of the amazing denim pieces that she shared with over 50,000 followers on Instagram.

HELLO! 👋🏼 Let me introduce myself to anyone who has followed since my last re-introduction (it was awhileee ago!). – I’m Kessler! 👩🏼‍🎨 @kesslerramirez I live in California, but love to travel as much as possible 😊 I’m 25 and have 2 giant, fluffy kitties that are cuddling with me as I type this! – Painting is not my full-time job. I also run an Art & Travel blog and do contract social media management for a company! 👩🏼‍💻 – I started painting jeans in 2017 for fun and haven’t stopped since! I got my Bachelors of Arts Psychology degree from UC Santa Barbara and also got a minor in Art History. That is why I paint all these paintings — I studied them in college (university)! 🎨👩🏼‍🎓 – My 5 favorite things to do when I’m not painting: •🌊 Go to the beach — when I lived in Southern California I’d go to the beach almost every day! I miss it so much. •📷 Take photos — photography is something I’ve always loved but never pursued as a career. •🌿 Tending to my plants — I’m obsessed with plants and my room is filled! I keep growing even more from cuttings! •👩🏼‍💻 Write — I publish weekly travel guides and bi-weekly art tutorials on my website/blog. •🐱 Play with my cats! — It’s important for indoor cats to get exercise and stimulation, so we play for10-30 minutes every day! – Now, tell me something you like to do for fun! 😊 —— ✨ FAQ AND TUTORIALS LINKED IN MY STORY HIGHLIGHTS AND ON MY WEBSITE 🎨
