Nicolás Romero (b. 1985, Buenos Aires, Argentina), also known by his artist name Ever, began his creative journey over twenty years ago in the streets of Buenos Aires. Starting with graffiti, his early work emerged during a period when the city was recovering from an eight-year military dictatorship, and street art became a powerful expression of freedom and resistance.

Today, Romero has expanded his practice into studio-based work, developing his acclaimed series “Naturalezas Muertas” (Still Lifes). Through the union of diverse elements, he uses imagery as a form of social reflection and anthropological research. Drawing inspiration from everyday objects and cultural traces, Romero incorporates items found in his immediate environment — from soft drink bottles and religious prints to political symbols, contemporary icons, and even fruits and vegetables. These compositions serve as visual bridges to deeper social, cultural, and economic narratives, revealing complex realities through layered imagery.

Beyond the gallery space, Romero has collaborated on illustrations for The New York Times Magazine and ZEIT Magazine.

His work has been recognized and collected by major cultural institutions, including:

• Santander Foundation (Buenos Aires)

• Amalita Fortabat Museum (Buenos Aires)

• Palais de Glace (Buenos Aires)

• Macro Museum (Rosario)

• Biennial of Urban Interventions (CCEC, Córdoba)
  Caraffa Museum (Córdoba)

With a practice that seamlessly bridges street art and contemporary fine art, Nicolás Romero continues to explore the social, cultural, and political layers of human existence, using visual language as a tool to provoke reflection and dialogue.
