About the Item

Daphne Sweet is a contemporary artist based in Butte, Montana, whose work intertwines personal narrative, mythology, and the landscapes of the American West. Born in Los Angeles and raised in a family of strong matriarchal figures, Sweet’s artistic journey was shaped by the stories, creativity, and resilience of the women around her. This foundation informs her practice, where themes of transformation, feminine power, and the liminality between myth and reality take center stage. Sweet’s work spans painting, watercolor, drawing, clothing, and ceramics, yet remains unified by a distinctive illustrative style. Her compositions, reminiscent of illuminated manuscripts, balance intricate brushwork with bold, contemporary storytelling. Influenced by the figures of the High Renaissance and the movement of Rococo aesthetics, she creates layered, narrative-rich pieces that merge historical artistic traditions with modern sensibilities. In her ongoing body of work, She Rides the Sky, Sweet explores the mythic landscapes of the American West, where celestial horses and golden cows serve as symbols of strength, transformation, and freedom. Through detailed yet expansive compositions, she reimagines archetypal figures—blurring the boundaries between past and present, myth and personal history—to reflect on resilience, identity, and the vastness of self-discovery. A graduate of the University of Montana with a background in studio art and art history, Sweet has exhibited nationally, from galleries in New York City to large-scale murals in Miami. Her work continues to evolve, drawing from the ever-shifting intersection of history, myth, and personal experience.

List plus Dopamine
By Rene Ramos
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Rene Ramos Lust plus Dopamine Oil on Canvas, Signed Cuba 2015 31.5 x 25.5 Inches Rene Ramos was born into a family of accomplished artists. Hi father Rene Martinez Sopena was an accomplished sculptor and teacher at the prestigious San Alejandro School, where Rene and his brother Yuri Martinez Ramos, also a world renowned painter, were graduates. The Martinez/Sopena family can also count amongst their artistic luminaries Hector Martinez and Sergio Martinez Sopena, uncles of Rene and Yuri, both master sculptors with works included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Bellas Artes in Havana, as well as countless collections around the world. Rene from a young age was a master drawer and painter, winning countless awards and scholarships. The competitive and artistic family atmosphere with his father, uncles and brother solidified Rene’s future aspirations of becoming an accomplished figurative painter of Cuban social scenes. The dynamics of Rene’s works can best be described as a narrative of whimsical social commentary of what it truly means to be Cuban in the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond. He takes his ques from family and friends and their interrelationships within Cuban society as it currently unfolds on the island. His works are not political in nature but rather reflects a poignant reminder of the resiliency of the Cuban spirit. His works offer a superior measure of detail utilizing a flow of powerful colors that jump off the canvas. One cannot help but admire and cherish any work of Rene’s a collector decides to take home.
