Romi Myers
ARTIST STATEMENT
I < 3 art + design. Plain and simple.
My artwork grants me the freedom of imperfection through organic free forms, where my design work allows me the continuous search for perfection.. All my art pieces are heavily influenced by my synesthesia, a neurological condition where I see numbers + letters in color by creating unexpected color compositions. I am obsessed with creating colorful, playful art pieces that are inquisitive to the human spirit. This is how "my emojions" series was born. The perfect blend between "emojis" + "emotions". My current goal is to create 222 pieces associated with "my emojions". I want to capture the essence of society in a light spirited way through our connection + play with the ubiquitous emoji. The number "222" comes from my fascination with numerology. It is commonly associated with creativity + good fortune + life balance. Having a design background + being a huge fan of Takashi Murakami’s Superflat Movement, I have created what I refer to as "superflat sparkle", where I add subtle finishing touches through a variety of mixed media, giving each art piece an added moment of serendipity for those who gaze upon it. In 2022, I began to explore NFT's + how to incorporate augmented reality activation onto many of my pieces via ArtiviveApp. It is a free app for any of my collectors to download onto any smartphone. Because sustainability is also an important factor to who I am as an artist + small business owner, I donate 10% of net sales towards planting trees.
