Bio

3D Dali (2).jpg
Michael Romaniello

You know this feeling: it’s comfort, fear, nostalgia, and uncertainty. It can’t be real and yet – it’s all too real. Somewhere in the spaces between the conscious and unconscious where deep insecurities and everyday concerns mix with childhood fairy tales and yesterday’s lunch – this is what I aim to capture in my art. I want to hide confrontation with reality within escapist fantasy, often with a twinge of childhood whimsy. Where have you seen this before? A daydream? A nightmare? A cartoon?

​

Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Visual Arts at Southeastern University, I create both fine art and illustration for personal projects and clients. I am inspired by the surreal, the uncanny, the archaic, and the fantastical. In my personal work, I utilize religious & dream imagery to create symbolic vignettes of the human psyche. I am always looking to develop and exhibit my artistic skill and creativity.
