Aubrey Ramage-Lay was born in 1975 in the Southwestern United States. He studied at MassArt and The New School, in the US, and his artistic journey took a significant leap when he pursued and received his master's degree in fine art at the prestigious Magyar Képzőművészeti Egyetem in Budapest, Hungary.
Aubrey's passion for art has been a constant throughout his life, enriched by extensive travels and studies across the globe. His diverse career path has seen him take on roles as varied as blacksmith and novelist, each experience adding a unique layer to his artistic perspective.
Magic plays a large role in Aubrey's work, informing a symbolic language that he uses to realize his inner desires. Though he has experimented with various artistic techniques over the years, he always returns to oil painting, which remains his principal medium to this day. He is currently living and working in Valencia, Spain.
The greatest artistic influences in Aubrey's life are his wife and children, who always encourage him to relentlessly pursue his artistic aspirations.
