Spanish Artist Vicente Romero Redondo

A selection of# Artworks by #Spanish _Artist _Vicente_ Romero_Redondo. Vicente Romero Redondo was born in 1956 in Madrid as the eldest of four sons. Due to the work of his father, he grew up in many different towns all over Spain. The family moved back to Madrid when he was 15 years old. During his childhood, his parents thought he would dedicate his life to painting, as his #caricatures_ of _schoolmates _and _teachers were famous in every school where he studied and one would rarely see him without a pencil and a notepad in his hands. Romero achieved his dream: he began studies at the# High _School_ for_ Art _San _Fernando, the most prestigious art school in Spain (#Salvador_ Dali studied there from 1922-1926). During his first years he dedicated his time to #sculpture, but soon realized that only by #painting could he express all the sensibility he possessed and needed to transmit. He graduated with special honors in 1982. Then he spent several years working on the street, not the most comfortable but surely the most efficient way to perfect his technique. He painted# pastel _portraits in coast villages of the mainland and the islands of #Tenerife, #Majorca and#Ibiza. At the close of the eighties, Romero and his wife settled in the #Costa Brava. It was in this region (the birthplace of Dali) that a new stage of his# artistic_ life began. The light of #the _Mediterranean, his skills, his# passion, #the_ wonderful_ #landscape, the house with #patio where he lived and #the_ beauty _of _his_models--all these were perfect conditions to change his paintings, and finally he succeeded in converting intimate situations of life into the leitmotif of his art. Since the early 90s Romero’s paintings have been shown in# individual_ expositions _in_ Spain, France and Portugal. In 2001 he moved to #Madrid, but he spends time as well in the# Costa_ Brava with its incredible light, one of the most identifiable aspects of his work.
