(Aracena, Huelva, 1964)
Romero has a degree in Fine Arts from Seville, the city where he lives and works. He is a many-sided artist who has worked intensively in many disciplines: sculptor, painter, performer, playwright, screenwriter, as well as art and literary critic, editor, essayist and flamenco expert. The central theme of his work is reflection and research into the image as resistance against time, whether historical, biological, psychological or verbal time. There is a constant preoccupation in his work for the disappearance of authorship. In 1986 he held his first solo exhibition and 1988 he exhibited Magatzem d'idees at the Moncada hall of the Fundació la Caixa in Barcelona. From 1988 to 1992 he held exhibitions at the Fúcares Gallery in Madrid, such as R.A.R.O. and Un mundo raro. He showed La sección áurea, named after an exhibition from 1989, at the Fundadión Luis Cernuda in Seville. From 1987 he began to show his series on the atomic bomb, such as El tiempo de la bomba (sala de Unicaja, Malaga 1993), El saco de la risa (Tomas March Gallery, Valencia 1995), or El fandango de la bomba (Diputacion de Huelva 1996). He also held individual exhibitions in cities such as Barcelona, New York and Milan and in countries from Brazil to Germany. Since 2000 he has worked on the project the FX Archive and Maquina P.H., using material based on iconoclasm and flamenco respectively. His work can be found in collections such as MACBA, the La Caixa Foundation, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Alaba, the Diputacion de Granada and the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo.
He has been artistic director of all the work of Israel Galván.
