מל ראמוס ידוע בעיקר בזכות ציוריו של גיבורי-על ועירום נשי לצד דימויים מתרבות הפופ. רבים מהנושאים בציוריו עולים ממותגים איקוניים או מאבני דרך תרבותיות כמו בננות צ'יקיטה, שקיות M&M או סניקרס. בעבודות אלה משתלב עונג ויזואלי עם פינוק אכיל ומסחרי מוצע.

לטה והגבעה מיינה מתפצלות מכמה מהעירומים האחרים של ראמוס. כאן ראמוס מתאר את אשתו, שעליה דיבר כמוזה הגדולה ביותר שלו. כמו עבודותיו המתארות גיבורי על, לטה והגבעה מיינה חדורת מיתוסים ותורה. מקורם של ציפורי מיינה הוא בדרום אסיה, שם חלקם לומדים לדבר, לעתים קרובות לדקלם דתיים. יתר על כן, כשהוא משחק על שם אשתו ועל נושא העופות, ראמוס מתייחס לסיפור המפורסם של לדה והברבור שבו זאוס מגלם ציפור כדי לאנוס את לדה. הסיפור פורש מחדש לאורך ההיסטוריה, כולל על ידי אמנים גדולים כמו פול סזאן, סיי טומבלי ופרננדו בוטרו. עם תיאור זה, ראמוס ממקם את עצמו באותה שושלת היסטורית אמנותית.
