Rocio Romero (1978 · Madrid · Spain) Collage Artist currently based in Sevilla. ................................................... [email protected] I am a collage artist and I conceive my work as a search. In my handmade collages the processes of collecting, selection and juxtaposition are mixed in a natural way. The pieces used in the compositions come from different contexts such as nature, paperscraps, tiling or ready made objects picked up all over the world and, after a thorough manipulation, the whole ensemble acquires a new meaning. My collageworks always have a hidden story inside expressed both in terms of form and content.
‘Without realizing it, I have always had an artistic vision of my surroundings, paying attention to the most insignificant details, those to which no one gives importance but that surrounds us every day. And after trying different ways of expression, collage has allowed me to find a way to tell and see life. As the different elements that when separated, lose strength but when they are brought together they take on a new meaning and excite the viewer’ |
