Alfredo Romero has explored greatly in technique and process over the years. Currently, he is focused on expressing the ideals of restoration, conservation and transcendence. Romero accomplishes this through a process called “strappo” which is used by anthropologists and conservators to detach paintings and murals from walls. Romero applies this technique to the facades of urban buildings throughout Mexico, those that are decrepit and deteriorating, “Trapping it, appropriating it, and endowing it with transcendence and perpetuity.”
Romero is a creator of ideas, concepts and artistical visions. Within respect to the history and the contemporary, the way the artist gives life to objects, paintings, collages, surfaces and sculptures has its own singular signature. His artworks have been exhibited in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Mexico City, Merida, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, London and others. Romero’s art pieces are also part of important art collections and museums.
