“In current times, it’s a different story we tell ourselves. Through media exposure, pop-idols and celebrities have ascended to near godlike status,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “They show us a polished vision of the grandeur of what man can be. They tell us how to act, how to interact with each-other, the words we use, the goals we set ourselves, the life we’re supposed to aspire to have.”

He is also the creator of a series of abstract portraits and the Apostles series, in which he turns pop artists into religious icons.

 “This series of paintings titled Apostles combines history with contemporary portraits,” he added. “Religious works from art history are used as a starting point to inform the rest of the painting. Through color, shape and subject they are brought into current day.”

Ramos uses gummy bears, buble gum, M&M’s, liquorice and after dinner mints to create colorful portraits of various celebrities. Each of his creations contain over 5000 sweets. The artist says he got the idea of using sweets four years ago.

When he was a little boy he thought “what if they saw one of their favorite artists enshrined using their favorite sweets?” That thought soon turned into a reality and now he sells celebrity portraits for up to $3000 to $18,000 depending on the size of the picture and sweets used.

“I love and feel inspired to create different things with new materials,” the artist said. “My only desire as an artist is to convey to people the pleasure I feel in doing this work and that if ever anyone sees a work item out of the ordinary rest assured that is Cristiam Ramos.”
