"My way of interpreting my works is having a rhythmic and melodic pattern, where the rhythm is the colors and the melody is the character. Just like in a song, there are minor and major keys. The minor tones are cold colors, and the major ones are warm colors. From there arises the tonality and character that the final work will have. The interesting thing about this is that my truth is not necessarily your truth. My way of interpreting it may be different from yours, and what excites me, may not excites you. The same thing happens with music. That is where for me the rich experience of putting music to my paintings ends up merging.” Juan Manuel Romero

Born in Argentina, Buenos Aires in 1988, Juan Manuel Romero is a prolific artist as an active musician, composer, and polytonal artist. He is inspired by textures and colours that represent his imagined representations of the amalgamation of these creative passions. Romero utilises inter-modality as a tool, chiefly through his musical interests, where it guides his visual expression of the auditory, paradoxically through a canonised silence.
