Artist Biography
Born in Argentina, Juan Manuel Romero is both a prolific artist and an active polytonal musician/composer. His art is inspired by textures and colours, representing his imagined synthesis of these creative passions.
Romero’s artworks are filled with echoes of his vibrant life, linking melodies and painting through the embodiment of both art forms. The artist’s ethos is paramount to his creative vision. As Romero states, “Both rhythm and art have the power to summon the other.” Indeed, his work in both arenas directly feeds the other, where symbols and sounds form a confident crescendo depicting a wordless world, one that arguably represents the nature and movement of the human psyche with greater authenticity than language.
Romero is involved with various renowned bands and ensembles in his native Argentina, and when lyrics escape him, he paints what cannot be told. Appreciating that silence is also a form of music, he seeks to capture this premise in his visual works, making his creative process a veritable game between the visible and the audible.
Juan Manuel Romero has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions, including Feria Equinox in 2021 and The Laura Haber Gallery in 2019. He has also participated in group shows at these locations, as well as Tinta BA in 2020, BAEX in 2019, and the Aqua Hotel in Miami, USA.
