Vicente Romero
(Spanish, b. 1956)
Vicente Romero is a Spanish painter born in Madrid, Spain in 1956. He received his Bachelors degree for sculpture in 1982 at the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. While trained as a painter using oils, he turned his focus to pastels, which he found more direct, spontaneous, and delicate. After exploring and mastering both medium, he has returned to painting with oils, thus producing a mutually enriching dialogue between the two techniques.
Romero has been living on the Costa Brava since 1987, a luminous and peaceful setting on the Mediterranean. It is certainly this luminosity that prevails in his art.
