ARMANDO ROMERO

 

"Art comes from art. There are no ideas or objects that have not been

appropriated." When I paint, I replicate at the same time because everything that

I see and everything that I could think already exists. What is important is the

originality with which I see, think and emulate. To see that which is visible as

something never seen before and see the never seen before as something

already seen.” - Armando Romero
