The Transfiguration of Galatea is a stunning oil on linen that showcases the artist's signature style of blending pop culture with classical themes. Known for his depictions of pin-up girls and comic book heroines, Ramos often reimagines iconic figures with a contemporary twist. In this painting, he draws inspiration from Greek mythology, portraying Galatea, a figure traditionally associated with transformation and beauty, in his unmistakable vibrant and provocative style.

The use of oil on linen gives the painting a rich texture and depth, allowing Ramos to highlight the sensuality of the female form with his characteristic bold colors and clean lines. The Transfiguration of Galatea captures the essence of Ramos' fascination with the intersection of popular culture, advertising and fine art, making it a quintessential example of his oeuvre.
