FF 'Untitled' 001 Collage

Romeo Madonna (London, 1987) is a collage artist currently living and working in Florence, Italy. Entirely self-taught, he explores collage—both digital and analog—not only as a medium of expression, but as a method of investigation and the synthesis of a broader philosophical inquiry. After studying Film at Roma Tre University with the initial intention of becoming a screenwriter, he later attended the Accademia di Belle Arti, drawn by a fascination with engraving and traditional printmaking techniques. His background in mixology and luxury retail has subtly shaped the aesthetics and narratives of his work, blending digital experimentation with tactile, manual processes. Recurring themes in his practice include time, beauty, identity, and mortality—filtered through a personal, contemporary lens often marked by poetic dissonance and symbolic layering.
