Alex Romero is a New York based artist whose work explores the documentation of life through painting. She received her BFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts. Romero blends her academic background with her design practice in window displays, she cultivates a strong sense of sight in space and movement in her work. Each painting begins with a quick sketch, directly on the canvas, using whatever is at hand- a pencil or a wax pastel. Once the sketch feels ready, acrylic paint is added, focusing on forming shapes that connect to one another. Everything is connected in every moment, even when there is a disconnect. It is all about the flow and the present moment; it is a process of “taking in and taking out,” serving as a documentation of life and how we navigate it. Themes emerge from conversations with others, exploring how individuals overcome uncertainty and continues to move forward. Acrylic paint is used to create a brighter, more saturated palette, reminding us how intensely our thoughts can play out inside us. Alex work reflects on identity as something continually shaped between being and becoming. Living in fast - paced modern world, how do we navigate a fast- paced environment. Romero practice is about pausing- holding onto those raid feelings and translating them onto canvas.
