Born in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium, the artist known by the pseudonym Ramah was a self-taught painter and author. Originally named Henri-François Raemaeker, he began his artistic journey as an aquafortist at the circle Le Sillon in 1909. His early career included significant illustrative work, such as creating fifteen etchings for a bibliophilic edition of Emile Verhaeren's Villages illusoires in 1913, and illustrating Charles De Coster's Ulenspiegel the following year.

His artistic development was shaped by various figures, including François Beauck, Rik Wouters, Fernand Schirren, Pierre Bonnard, Valerius De Saedeleer, Paul Maas, and Guillaume Charlier.
