Romina Ressia (born March 11, 1981) is a multi-award winning photographer and artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is well known for her anachronisms and her strong Renaissance influence. Her works have been featured by The Huffington Post, Interview Magazine, Vanity Fair, Vogue Italia & The Wild Magazine, among others. The Wall Street International wrote, "Romina's photography provokes and challenges us to confront things which may seem uncomfortable however manages to provide a reassuring quality. This juxtaposition between comfort and uncomfortable is a powerful one which resonates throughout her practice."[1]
Life and career
Romina Ressia was born on March 11, 1981, in Azul (Buenos Aires province), Argentina. At the age of 19 she moved to Capital Federal to study, where she graduated as an Accountant with a Bachelor of Business Administration at the UBA. However, she would later abandon those professions to devote herself to Photography. She studied Photography, Art Direction and Scenery at several institutions, including the Teatro Colon. She started in fashion photography but was gradually moving to Fine Arts, venturing, beyond Photography, in Mixed Media. Her works are represented by Galleries in the UK, New York, Switzerland & Italy, and they have been exhibited in major cities such as New York, Milan, Zurich, Paris & Buenos Aires.
Work
Her most iconic work is:
- Pop-Corn (from the series "How would have been?", Argentina, 2013). This piece is part of the permanent collection of Columbus Museum of Art (USA).
Production of the Artist
The artist is characterized by the use of anachronisms and juxtapositions that allow to draw a timeline from which to explore human evolution and their behavior as individuals and as a collective. "Sus imágenes se parecen más a un cuadro del Renacimiento que a una foto moderna y ahí radica su belleza. Romina usa con ironía la confrontación pasado/presente" [2]
