In a trajectory of more than 40 years between the fields of art and design, Romero is recognized for his curiosity and ease in exploring the most varied techniques of image conception. Among them, paper cutting (cutaway) - a technique he has developed since 1985 - is one of the greatest marks of his personal work. In the last year, he conducted his research on corrugated cardboard, having dedicated himself exclusively to the development of the technique for constructing sculptures, especially masks, from this material.
