The story gets even cooler. With his sketches in hand, Ramiro called up his buddy Simon in Uberaba, Brazil, like, “Yo, you in?” Simon, who runs a studio in the city, took one look at Ramiro’s dazzling designs and was like, “WHOA, this is FIRE!” He jumped on board faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer. From Ramiro’s original sketches and designs, they crafted a mini sculpture that’s now strutting in three sizes: a cute 30 cm, a bold 60 cm, and a jaw-dropping 2.8-meter-tall mega-cat that’s basically the Godzilla of pop art!
But wait—this isn’t just about looking fabulous (though Zyon Cat slays in that department). Ramiro’s on a mission to turn his art into a cat-adoption revolution. Every time one of his pieces sells, a chunk of the cash goes straight to shelters and organizations worldwide that give stray cats the VIP treatment they deserve—think warm beds, tasty treats,and forever homes. Meow-zers!

With its electric colors and in-your-face style, Zyon Cat is like catnip for art lovers of all ages. “I want people to see my art and feel a spark for these furry friends,” Ramiro says. “Maybe it’ll inspire them to adopt a kitty and become a hero for a stray!” And trust us, this project is already making waves. From local art shows to social media takeovers (hello, #ZYONTheCat!), Zyon Cat is the talk of the town, with heart-melting stories of cats finding their forever families thanks to this campaign.
Zyon Cat is proof that art can be more than just pretty—it can be a game-changer. Ramiro Silos isn’t just sketching pictures; he’s designing a brighter future for cats who need a little love. So, next time you spot a Zyon Cat sculpture, snap a pic, spread the word, and maybe even open your heart (and home) to a furry friend. Let’s keep this pop art party roaring for the kitties!
What’s Next for Zyon Cat?
Get ready for more feline fabulousness in 2025 and beyond! Zyon Cat is gearing up for a series of paw-some exhibitions to spread the adoption love:
• Brazil Tour (2025): Zyon Cat will pounce into major Brazilian cities, bringing pop art pizzazz and feline love to public spaces across the country.
• U.S. Exhibitions (2025): Plans are in the works for bold installations in major cities, with details coming soon to keep the cat-adoption buzz roaring.
• Global Tour (2026 and Beyond): Zyon Cat is set to take the world by storm, with stops in Portugal, Berlin, and other iconic destinations, spreading the adoption revolution far and wide.
In 2004, I had the opportunity to work with Ramiro Silos at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. Ramiro was widely recognized in the world of window displays for his specialty in creating surrealist 3D windows, which stood out for their originality and creativity. His innovative approach transformed each display into a true work of art, capturing the attention of everyone passing by on Fifth Avenue. Andrey M.
