Art Appreciation
Spanish painter Vicente Romero is known for his oil and pastel portraits of beautiful women in intimate settings. Born in Madrid, Romero studied at the most prestigious art school in Spain, before moving to Costa Brava, the coastal region of northeastern Spain on the Mediterranean.
What caught my attention, besides the paintings of beautiful women, was his use of light and shadow to create transparency and depth. For example, the portrait of a lady in a sheer dress holding up a embroidered lace sheer throw against the Mediterranean light delicately outlines her body.
His work captures intimate moments he wishes to share with his viewers. For example, the lovely ballerina sitting at a corner after or before practice. Romero's use of reflection is wonderful. Notice how he places detail on the subject rather than the other non-important things in the setting. You see this again in the painting of a naked woman holding her sheer robe below her waist looking out into the Mediterranean.
You can see a lot more of his wonderful work HERE.
