Ernesto Romano
Ernesto Romano is an Italian artist living and working in London. He uses x-rays of his body for his work, which he transforms with bold colours and often embellishes with gold leaf, glitter, spray paint or Swarovski crystals. All of his work is colourful and shiny. He often uses symbols like crowns and jewels that he superimposes onto the x-rays. Those symbols tend to identify a certain status or social position.
On the other hand the x-rays instead are free from any social connotation, any prejudice or stereotype and often free from gender and ambiguous, and eventually the most judgemental-free angle from which a person can be looked at. These X-rayed self portraits convey a message of equality and universal values, of inclusion and diversity. Ernesto has exhibited nationally in UK and internationally and his work is collected worldwide.
