Production of the artist
The artist is characterized by the use of anachronisms and juxtapositions that allow to draw a timeline from which to explore human evolution and their behavior as individuals and as a collective.
"Sus imágenes se parecen más a un cuadro del Renacimiento que a una foto moderna y ahí radica su belleza. Romina usa con ironía la confrontación pasado/presente"
