Born in Denmark, 1999. Based in Berlin, Germany
Based in Berlin, Romo Lindved works primarily with painting, creating reconstructed surfaces that combine materials such as plaster, wood, charcoal, and found imagery. Rather than treating the surface as a neutral ground, he builds it into the work itself, allowing textured environments and familiar visual symbols to emerge together.
Growing up between Danish and Cuban cultures, alongside frequent movement between environments and identities, has shaped his interest in duality, displacement, and the continual construction of self-identification and belonging. His paintings explore the relationship between vulnerability and resilience, combining rough, damaged surfaces with moments of tenderness, humour, and intimacy. Through these material and visual contrasts, he creates imagined worlds where imperfection, transformation, and care coexist.
