Antonella Romano (1986) began studying painting in 2006 at the artist Alberto Parres’ Atelier.
In 2009 she graduated in International Relations and got a master's degree in Law and Economics.
She continued to study painting at Rome University of Fine Arts - RUFA.
S T A T E M E N T
The role of images in reality comprehension- also linked to identity morphology, memory construction, and power enforcement- is the cornerstone of artistic exploration.
Wobbling into the threshold, the research gives way to the creative act. Images archived over the years, taken from different sources, become paintings, prints and drawings. Instead, the materials collected over time without premeditative logic turn into installations.
All human knowledge remains fallible, conjectured.
There are more established theories than others, but never certain.
We read and understand the world with the grammar of our cultural memory.
