Creating meaningful art

Ivette Ramos Levy is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of invisibility, marginalization, and the deep human desire to be seen.
As the youngest in her family and an immigrant, Ivette has long grappled with the experience of being overlooked—an emotion that deeply informs her artistic practice. Her New People series reflects this struggle, examining how identity can fade when filtered through external perceptions, and highlighting the quiet erasure that shapes many lives.
Ivette holds a BA from a university in Mexico and has exhibited her work in galleries throughout Mexico and the United States.
As a docent at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, she played a key role in launching Spanish-language tours, expanding access to art for the Spanish-speaking community.
There’s something about eyes that has always haunted her—perhaps it’s that unsettling feeling of being truly seen, as if someone could read you without a single word. That’s why, in her work, eyes multiply. It’s not about being strange for the sake of it. It’s about expressing without speaking—about creating unease, opening questions.
Her work invites introspection—whether through fascination or discomfort. Ivette embraces this tension, viewing discomfort not as something to avoid, but as an entry point to deeper reflection.
Her pieces don’t offer answers. They ask questions. They serve as slightly unsettling mirrors—a quiet invitation to look differently. And maybe, to let yourself be seen too.
