    Jose Romero: capstone
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Romero, Jose, artist
    The artist's statement: My collection of drawings is representational of the essence of my humanity at the introspective and retrospective level. I am very interested in the world around me and I take a lot of inspiration from it as I explore who I am to the world. I am an appreciator, and my point of view in drawing is focused on depicting those things I appreciate from the world, and from nature itself. My practice is very involved spiritually, and I find myself being able to explore feelings, thoughts, and identity through abstract representations led by emotion as well as more representational depictions led by the need to connect with the community. Themes such as the visual soul, queer identity, and automatism are woven carefully into the works in different capacities. I am also very interested in making the works feel more alive through the use of installation, as the mix between 2D and 3D creates a really striking impression on the viewer. I also take a lot of liberty with color theory, and so I often find myself using vibrant color palettes experimentally, creating color relationships that feel more interesting to me.

    Jose Romero: capstone
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Romero, Jose, artist
    The artist's statement: My scope when it comes to my graphic design practice has to do with ideas of escapism and relief from the modern and minimalist design trends. I believe that as the world becomes more corporate, design is becoming more dull and therefore, starts to lack personality and soul. Through my design, I am hoping to achieve a language that reads as joyful and that inspires people to be more happy, bright, as well as creative.
