Arturo Ernesto Romo was born in Los Angeles, California. His artwork, mostly collaborative mixed media works but also drawing, has been exhibited internationally.  Fluency, agency and folly are central themes in his practice; he sees his artwork as a companion multiplier, folding folds, netting nets. His art-making is pushed through explorations on the streets of East and North East Los Angeles, which feed into an ongoing series of collaborations with writer Sesshu Foster. He is based in Alhambra, CA.
