Currently living and working in Madrid, Spain. Romeo Niram’s artistic work is deeply connected to other fields of knowledge, Physics above all, but also Philosophy, Theology, Literature, Cinema.

In a nutshell, the series identify several similarities in 2 very different areas, Physics and Sculpture, in Albert Einstein’s cosmology and Constantin Brâncuși’s artistic intuition. Niram tackles different concepts that may be incomprehensible to a viewer unfamiliar to the world of Physics such as Einstein’s theory of relativity, the definition of the form of the universe, Einstein’s equation of the creation of the Universe, the mathematic principle of the hologram and much more.
These complex principles are also present, in an intuitive form, in Brâncuși’s sculptures. The result is an intriguing journey into cosmology through an artist’s eyes.
