In “Bravo”, Romero Beltrán explores the Rio Bravo as a space of migration and identity.Through stark portraits, austere interiors, and scarred landscapes, the workcaptures the suspended time of migration.
Romero Beltrán’s signature style is precise in the pursuit of a political reality, where meticulously produced portraiture both reveals and conceals the resilience, exhaustion and hope of the migrant experience, alongside the muted delicacy of Romero Beltrán’s interiors, where a speaker, a mattress, a red-painted table become loaded with symbolic weight.
