Born in 1972 in Barcelona, Ramon Maiden has    never felt bound anywhere and has travelled extensively. He has    lived in other countries and  considers    NYC as his second city. He    never studied art and his training as an artist has been entirely self-taught.  His training, ideas, sources of inspiration… are all dynamic and changing, and so are the techniques and methods he    employs. He tries not to focus on anything too specific and  progress by using different sources and experimenting. His training as a social worker, his passion for travelling,  family history and his experience with visual arts…are all  very diverse and not at all uniform, which allows him to be very creative. 

His style is very characteristic and people are usually identified quickly. He tries    not only to  cause visual impact but  to    also convey a message, an idea, a  purpose. Ramon    perceives the tattoo as a form of artistic expression. "Many of the artists I    follow    not only deal with tattoos, but they are also very good at other types of art. Lola Garcia, Dr. Lakra, , Annie Frenzel, Sebastian Domasche, Matthias Boechtter or Amina Charai are excellent tattooists, great artists and friends".

It is difficult to identify what his style  is, it’s usually quite changeable and Ramon likes to have  different sources of inspiration. "I love the historical motives and many of my works  are steeped in it. The world wars, the Victorian era, the American 20’s".
