Ivette Ramos Levy is a multidisciplinary artist based in Fort Worth, Texas. Working across painting, ceramics, installation, and video, she investigates how prolonged bureaucratic systems reshape the body and its relationship to time.

Rooted in her own sixteen-year immigration process, her work examines what happens when waiting ceases to be temporary and becomes embodied. Rather than treating bureaucracy as an abstract structure, Ramos Levy explores its physical and psychological residue: the ways language, accent, repetition, self-correction, and prolonged uncertainty become internalized through everyday life.

Her practice transforms personal archives, ordinary objects, and symbolic materials into works that make visible what administrative systems often leave unseen. Through image, texture, and material presence, she considers how identity is continually negotiated between documentation and lived experience, presence and absence, belonging and displacement.

Born in Mexico, Ramos Levy has lived in the United States for more than two decades. Her work has been exhibited in both Mexico and the United States. She is also a docent at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, where she helped develop Spanish-language tours and community outreach initiatives.
