Alfredo Romero (b.1974) was born in Barcelona, Spain. He now lives and works in Mexico. Romero studied Fine Art, architecture, graphic design and Art History at the School of Arts Applications and Offices of Rubi, Barcelona, Spain; The School of Design EDRA, Barcelona, Spain and the Technical School of Architecture, Barcelona, Spain.
Throughout the years, Romero has brought his art practice to wider forms of exploration. The multidisciplinary artist experimented with different techniques, mediums, processes and technologies, such as paint, found objects, strappo, gold leaf, silver leaf wood, metal and stainless steel. So far, he has achieved to marry the best of both worlds between architecture, design and art, as to what relates to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks.
He is in a constant creative quest, without any limits or boundaries. The artist has a keen interest in translating traces of history in relation with the present and future time. His artistic language is universal and linked to the human imprint in the Universe. He is a visionary in pushing his approach to creating and developing new techniques and art projects. In the last few years, he has given most of his time to a proposal that he is passionate about an archaeological project safekeeping the culture of the street of Mexico “Vestiges of Our Times”. Romero is a creator of ideas, concepts and artistic visions. Within respect to the history and the contemporary, the way the artist gives life to objects, paintings, collages, surfaces and sculptures have their own singular signature.
His artworks have been exhibited in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Mexico City, Merida, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, London and more. Romero’s art pieces are also part of important corporate and private art collections and museums. In 2023, Romero’s solo show Despiel made its debut at Simard Bilodeau Contemporary, his second solo show with the Gallery. This year, Romero’s work will be shown at the 2024 Seattle Art Fair.
