35 Romson Bustillo
Romson Bustillo chooses to see the world, and to experience it, as beautiful. Through printmaking, mixed media, space coding, installation art, and painting, the multidisciplinary artist populates spaces that question and claim presence. His layered artworks, largely non-representational, create a communal space for viewers to participate and become active co-creators in discovering meaning. “I think it’s important,” he says, “particularly when you’re making work that’s going out in public, to find a place for people to have an opportunity to learn.”
