About Maria Romano

 
 
  • Biography

    I’m a figurative artist who tells quiet stories through faces, flowers, symbols, and soft shadows.
    My painting begins with inner dialogue — each piece is a trace of what I’ve seen, lived, or simply felt.

    I spent several years living in Kenya, and that time shaped my artistic vision profoundly. The earth tones, the glowing sunsets, the generous smiles, the beauty in simplicity — all of it lives in my work as memory, femininity, and quiet transformation.

    I work mainly in oil on canvas and soft pastels, using traditional techniques to express contemporary emotions: vulnerability, strength, identity, and introspection.
    I paint what is not said, what lingers behind closed eyes, or dissolves in a single shade of color.

    And yes… between one painting and the next, I often lose a brush — but I always find a piece of myself.
