Romina Ressia (born March 11, 1981) is a multi-award winning photographer and artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is well known for her anachronisms and her strong Renaissance influence. Her works have been featured by The Huffington Post, Interview, Vanity Fair, Vogue Italia and The Wild Magazine, among others. The Wall Street International wrote, "Romina's photography provokes and challenges us to confront things which may seem uncomfortable however manages to provide a reassuring quality. This juxtaposition between comfort and uncomfortable is a powerful one which resonates throughout her practice."[1]

Life and career

Ressia was born on March 11, 1981, in Azul, Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 19 she moved to Capital Federal to study, where she graduated as an accountant with a Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Buenos Aires. She later abandoned those professions to devote herself to photography. She studied photography, art direction and scenery at several institutions, including the Teatro Colon.

She started in fashion photography but was gradually moving to fine arts, venturing beyond photography into mixed media. Her works are represented by galleries in the UK, New York, Switzerland and Italy, and they have also been exhibited in cities such as Milan, Zurich, Paris and Buenos Aires.

Production of the artist

The artist is characterized by the use of anachronisms and juxtapositions that allow to draw a timeline from which to explore human evolution and their behavior as individuals and as a collective.
