JOSE ROMUSSI

Becoming an artist was a natural process for me, since I became an artist overnight, skipping most of the steps required. Finding my style came to me as naturally as becoming an artist, since I have always had in mind that there is more to what is tangible and visible. I have the belief that not everything has already been done. Therefore I am constantly exploring and discovering new techniques and materials to express and represent my ideas, reflect my inspirations, and turn them into artworks.

The pictures or objects I work with are generally found. I pick them because I feel that they suggest intervention, that they want to be given a new perspective and a new moment in time. I make sure that whatever has already been forgotten is kept in the present. I am interested in stitching the past to the present, the real to the unreal.
