يشتهر ميل راموس بلوحاته للأبطال الخارقين والعراة الإناث جنبا إلى جنب مع صور ثقافة البوب. تنبثق العديد من الموضوعات في لوحاته من العلامات التجارية الشهيرة أو اللمسات الثقافية مثل موز تشيكيتا أو أكياس M & M أو Snickers. في هذه الأعمال ، يتم الجمع بين البهجة البصرية مع الانغماس التجاري والتجاري المقترح.

تختلف ليتا وهيل مينا عن بعض عراة راموس الآخرين. هنا يصور راموس زوجته ، التي تحدث عنها على أنها أعظم ملهماته. مثل أعماله التي تصور الأبطال الخارقين ، فإن ليتا وهيل مينا مشبعة بالأساطير والتقاليد. طيور مينا موطنها جنوب آسيا حيث يتم تعليم بعضها الكلام ، وغالبا ما يقرأ الدينية. علاوة على ذلك ، يلعب راموس على اسم زوجته وموضوع الطيور ، ويشير إلى القصة الشهيرة ليدا والبجعة التي يجسد فيها زيوس طائرا لاغتصاب ليدا. تم إعادة تفسير القصة على مر التاريخ ، بما في ذلك من قبل فنانين عظماء مثل بول سيزان وسي تويمبلي وفرناندو بوتيرو. مع هذا التصوير، يضع راموس نفسه في نفس السلالة التاريخية الفنية.
