Eric Romero’s art explores the relationship between myth, philosophy, and culture. Born and raised under the New Mexican sun, Romero draws inspiration from the Land of Enchantment. His allegorical figurative paintings echo the Old Masters in technique and methodology. Catholicism, mythology, and the New Mexican social landscape have influenced his oil paintings to tell a rich story of history, culture, and mysticism. Working in the medium of oil, he tirelessly and painstakingly pays close attention to detail within the paintings and often paints hidden symbology within the composition. As a self-taught artist, Romero creates paintings with a feeling of mannerism, combining bold color with metaphorical imagery.
