Jose Romussi was born in 1979 in Santiago, Chile. His first approach to art was seeing his mother painting.
“In 2010 when I was in New York I decided that art was what I wanted to do, and there I started doing some artworks involving embroidery and painting.” From 2010 to 2014 he worked with different subjects such as ballerinas, portraits with embroidered flowers and skulls, and landscapes. Later, thanks to the experiences gained from the different travels he has made, Jose started to see and made art in a different way: with a critical eye and a social perspective.
“My work is a constant search to express and represent my ideas. My occurring artworks are a reaction of my inspiration. This starts with an image, that inspires me in a certain way to do an embroidery that changes it into a new one. I am always searching for a new sense of interpretation for my pieces.”
His technique is focused on the use of thread as medium to make merge different times and spaces in the realized pieces. Embroidery technique is used on paper, as well as on photograph, with no fear of breaking the support since it is part of the process too.
“I intervene in images by applying my own perception of beauty to them. Sometimes by giving them a new identity or a different aesthetic concept. It’s the chance to give this image a new emotion, a new life, a new interpretation of beauty through embroidering”.
