A life forged in steel and art

I am Vicente Romea Ramon, a sculptor. I was born in Sabadell (Barcelona) in 1973 and currently live and work in Piera. My life and artistic journey have been marked by a complex childhood and adolescence which, far from limiting me, led me to the discovery of my true vocation: working with metal as a creative language and means of personal expression.

In 1998, at just 25 years old, I founded my own workshop dedicated to metalwork. During this time, I collaborated with architects, interior designers, building engineers, and landscape architects, eventually leading a team of up to six people. I completed numerous unique projects, including the creation of a scale model locomotive head as the emblem for the La Maquinista shopping center in Barcelona, ​​as well as participation in leading events such as Casa Decor at Hogares Mundet, the presentation of the Renault Laguna at the Hotel Juan Carlos I, and promotional projects for brands like Bacardi.

While working for others, I developed my artistic side independently in my small studio and workshop, beginning to create unique pieces in carbon iron and Corten steel, shaping my own sculptural language—direct and honest. In my latest pieces, my work has taken a qualitative leap both technically and conceptually, delving deeper into the artistic discourse and the expressive capacity of metal.

Artistic work and language

Over the years, I have created sculptures imbued with symbolic and emotional power, endowing them with an expressiveness and force that leave no one indifferent.

More recently, my work has focused particularly on the human figure as an emotional territory. I have created several busts in which I delve into the expression, identity, and fragility of the human being, primarily using stainless steel to generate contrasts between the material’s hardness and an extreme, silent sensitivity.

My work is not driven by an empty aesthetic pursuit, but rather by the need to channel my own feelings through art. Each sculpture is born from an emotion, an experience, or a reflection, and is conceived so that each piece speaks for itself, establishing a direct dialogue with the viewer.

Commitment and present

Social and human commitment is a natural part of my work. Public works like “Las Brujas” (The Witches), permanently installed in Centelles, reflect values ​​such as inclusion, diversity, and respect for differences, integrating the message into the piece’s visual narrative.

I am currently continuing to develop sculptural projects for both public and private spaces, exploring the human figure and the expressive potential of metal as a medium for conveying emotion, awareness, and humanity.
