Fabio Romano investigates through the medium of painting current issues of socio-political and cultural interest. In his latest works begun in 2021, the history of human civilization dialogues with the latest innovations in science and geography, which seem to dictate the future of our planet.
Between randomness and correlation he begins to paint as a surgeon examines the parts where urgent intervention is needed to bring something defenseless to life and activate through his vision an interaction between the parts. He is also a collector of images, magazines from the National Geographic of the 1970s, and an activist in making connections between various scientific issues and cultural phenomena.
Fabio Romano, born in 1988 obtained the Master Degree of Fine Arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, IT. In 2009 the artist was awarded a scholarship from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, in Antwerp, BE. He has participated in several group exhibitions in Paris, Rome, Turin and Dusseldorf. The Grimaldi Foundation in Modica, (IT) consecrated to him in 2010 a major solo show with attached publication of the exhibition catalog Dinamiche dell ‘ Improbabile. He actually lives and works in Düsseldorf, DE.
