25-year-old self-taught artist Ruben “WestSide” Ramos, known as “xoramos661” draws realistic pictures that blow my mind. I truly hope that art is his profession, because his talent is incredible.
In particular, the artist likes to draw people, and his art gallery consists of hundreds of drawings, sketches, and watercolors. Mostly, these works are portraits of well known and unknown people, including his beloved daughter Alyssa. Talented artist hyper-realist Ruben Ramos is truly a romantic and gentleman, treating Woman like a princess. Even in his drawings women wear a crown. According to the 25-year-old artist, he is the hopeless romantic, who still believes in love at first sight.
