Alexander Romero


My paintings are a vivid exploration of the human spirit navigating the collision of personal emotion and an increasingly technological world. Rooted in my own experiences of love, heartbreak, grief, and desire, each work transforms intimate moments into universal reflections on identity, connection, and resilience. From tender memorials to lost loved ones to bold reimaginings of mythological figures, my paintings blend the raw vulnerability of human existence with the sleek allure of digital innovation. Geometric patterns and futuristic textures, meticulously hand-painted to mimic digital precision, create a dynamic tension between the organic and the synthetic, while influences from video games and Jungian archetypes infuse the work with a sense of timeless narrative reimagined through a modern lens.

Through vibrant compositions, I invite viewers to confront the beauty and complexity of life’s dualities—joy and sorrow, intimacy and isolation, creation and destruction. My paintings delve into the interplay of memory and progress, where roses bloom and wither, hearts freeze and thaw, and figures grapple with the seductive pull of virtual realms. Mythological echoes and tech-infused imagery weave together to explore humanity’s place in a shifting landscape, urging contemplation of our shared past and possible futures. With each brushstroke, I aim to capture the enduring potency of the human experience, rendered in a visual language that bridges the personal, the mythic, and the digital, inviting viewers to find their own stories within the layers of paint.
