Roman Serra

Roman Serra’s repertoire of imagery is wide ranging, incorporating naturalistic and geometric motifs. His work provokes an emotional and psychological effect on the viewer. To compose his images, Serra incorporates different physical techniques that leave unique marks. He is known for setting canvases ablaze and using his breath to draw with paint. His work makes reference to the urban landscape, pulsating with natural tones. The experience is an image that seemingly defies its’ environment. “I want my work to be an experience unfolding over time..” Serra was born in Detroit, MI. Currently he resides in Chicago, IL.
