Biography
DORA ROMANO (Naples 1979) (Naples 1979). Architect, artist, and professor of Art and Image, Technology (for the SSIG), and Drawing and Art History (for the SSIIG). Over the years, she has developed a sensitivity to the world of contemporary art in all its facets, blending visual art, architecture, and the environment around her into her own personal essence. An eclectic woman, her art reflects exactly who she is. She expresses herself fully, especially through painting, never as an end in itself.
She has devoted herself to figurative art and realism in the initiatory phase of her artistic journey, using ever-changing media and techniques. The BIC pen is a technique that makes her "visible" in the figurative landscape. The discovery of her ultimate direction explodes when, after a forced hiatus from 2021-2022, the artist gives weight to her considerations on the measure of time and the joy of life. Her latest work, which embraces abstraction, powerfully expresses the need for color and light as a vital necessity after a "journey to hell" that inevitably shapes her new perspectives. The artist dedicates herself to her research with a powerful creative impulse, always keeping her theoretical, technical, and compositional knowledge firmly in place. Beauty, the compositional taste she has studied with great interest, historical and theoretical knowledge, and constant research form the foundation of her work. The long-awaited goal is transparency, light, the vibration of color, and those elements that connect nature with our being.
