Vicente Romero Redondo

Luca Tedde

"I remember always loving drawing, ever since I could hold a pencil in my hand, and I discovered I loved portraits at a very young age. The spark was struck during one of my first trips with school. I was enchanted by the work of an artist who, in a crowded square, was portraying with charcoal one of the many tourists passing by. In that moment I understood that the portrait was definitely a path that, in drawing, I wanted to follow."
