Giampiero Romanó, born in '73, is a Milanese artist. He does not train at design courses nor attending an Academy of Arts, but among the nails, hammers and paints of his own laboratory, in the beating heart of the Porta Venezia district, dedicating himself for more than twenty years to the research and restoration of vintage-design pieces.
Since his early years he has been traveling in search of vintage pieces by the great Italian names in design, making himself a culture in the field, tools in hand; his passion becomes irresistible.
A few years later he began to collaborate with the magazine Toiletpaper Magazine Di Maurizio Cattelan e Pier Paolo Ferrari and his creativity, combined with a great experience, took shape in a collection of over 100 pieces made and exhibited worldwide.
Ironic, visionary and endowed with great dexterity, developed in years of craftsmanship, Giampiero begins to give voice to his ideas and inspirations, creating an alternative universe made of mirrors.
In fact, these are the protagonists of his creations: mirrors. Some cut them, others sew them, disassemble them, illuminate them, riddle them.
You could try to interpret the pieces of art of Giampiero Romanó as his search for identity; maybe so, but Giampiero does not allow himself time to stop and reflect: he must create.
His need is only to not hold back what he feels and to give shape to everything he imagines.
