Jaili Ramirez is a New York-based painter and therapist whose practice examines identity, memory, survival, and healing through figurative painting. Raised between Puerto Rico and the mainland United States, she holds a BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology and an MA from New York University. Her work considers how personal and collective histories are carried through the body, family, culture, and image.

Working with color, figuration, and symbolism, Jaili draws upon spiritual and familial iconography to revisit inherited images, rituals, and histories. She reshapes these references through a visual language informed by her experiences as both an artist and therapist. Her paintings often begin with the stories of women and girls whose experiences have been dismissed, silenced, or misunderstood. By bringing these narratives into view, she creates space for them to be acknowledged and reconsidered. Painting becomes an act of reclamation through which Jaili explores visibility, survival, and the formation of identity.
