D.Romeo
Often an artist has one specific medium in which they create whether it be in watercolor, acrylic, pastel, or oil, but for D it's whatever feels right. The expression dictates.
A large number of his paintings would be considered mixed media because there are certain combinations that he prefers. However, he employs a particular style specific to each medium. For simplicity’s sake, this tree was painted only using watercolor paints. Nobody would ever think that it was painted in watercolor due to its texture.
When viewing the tree you can see how certain areas of the painting come off the canvas. Also unlike with traditional watercolor paintings, there isn’t much bleeding and there’s considerably more detail than what would be typical. Many of his paintings don’t look like paintings, because of his approach. First and foremost, he draws, having drawn constantly as a youth well before he ever started painting. Before this tree was painted it was drawn and from there, paint was applied using very small Series 7 Winsor & Newton brushes, one of which was 000, the smallest available size. This allowed him to add more detail to the painting. He also used a layering technique in which he applied another layer after the previous one dried until satisfied with the look of it. He doesn’t always paint this way, but he loves adding texture in unique ways.
D. Romeo's recent projects (2018-2019) include:
Oftentimes, the best things happen organically, born from real moments. D lets those moments determine what something becomes. Something simple can evolve into something unexpected. Sometimes those creations are misunderstood, and sometimes they are felt exactly as intended, but they always come from the right place.
D. Romeo's two next major projects include:
The Default Generation (2026 - 2028)
Dan Brown writes great books, intertwining a variety of interesting storylines and real-life locations to tell tales of adventure and intrigue. He once wrote a book titled, The Da Vinci Code. However, like in the movie The Usual Suspects, there is a story you are led to believe and then there is the real one. TDG sets out to tell the real story, the one everyone needs to experience.
“Do not be afraid;
our fate Cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.”
― Dante Alighieri, Inferno
In the mid-1990s, two idealistic computer geeks from opposite sides of the pond discovered an unlikely connection through a strangely familiar collection of shared interests, curiosities, and ways of seeing the world. That connection would eventually set them on a path to Florence, Italy.
They were amongst the earliest explorers of the internet's emerging social frontier, at a time when the possibilities of connecting across continents seemed almost limitless. They were as much artists and mathematicians as they were coders. One had a greater gift for understanding how things worked, while the other had an instinctive ability to see what they could become.
Neither could have imagined where their journey would lead. Perhaps that was a blessing. Had they known what awaited them, the uncertainties, the hardships, and the fears they would eventually have to confront, they might never have found the courage to pursue the dreams that brought them together in the first place.
Yet somewhere between mathematics and imagination, logic and emotion, their lines of code began to resemble the brushstrokes of artists from centuries past. What appeared to be two entirely different approaches to creation would reveal unexpected parallels, sometimes in uniquely profound ways.
And as their story unfolds, those connections would prove to be far more meaningful than either could have imagined.
