Ramsko (born 2001) is an Austrian-Hungarian multidisciplinary artist, currently based in Vienna, Austria. They are currently enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
Exaggerated kitsch, a longing for a utopia and cheeky carelessness are some of the themes explored by Ramsko. Topics ranging from gender roles to pop culture are surveyed with a certain sense of humor; Ramsko depicts scary, wicked or sad situations in flashy colorful glitter and trivialized imagery.
