Maria Romano

About the Artist

Maria Romano

Italy

I’m a contemporary figurative artist exploring identity, memory, and emotional transformation through layered portraits, symbols, textures, and digital distortions.
My work blends traditional painting techniques with contemporary visual language: glitch effects, pixel fragments, raw textures, and fragmented surfaces become part of the emotional narrative. I’m interested in what exists between presence and disappearance, clarity and imperfection.
Working mainly with oil, mixed media, and soft pastels, I create pieces that move between figurative intimacy and visual disruption. Faces emerge through layers, scratches, pixels, faded details, and symbolic elements, reflecting vulnerability, resilience, femininity, and introspection.
Each painting begins with an inner dialogue. I paint emotions that are difficult to explain: what lingers behind silence, what survives through memory, what breaks and rebuilds itself over time.
