About the Artist
Hiroomi Ito (Tokyo, 1970), is a Japanese artist based in Barcelona. Due to his compositions, technique and characteristics, when observing Hiroomi Ito’s work, the first impression is of being in front of a Nihonga creation (日本画) or a Japanese classical painting. However, a more in-depth study of the pictorial discourse, together with the artist’s life trajectory on Catalan soil, shows us that there really is a latent identity debate, with much analysis of his country of origin.
