Self Portrait at 22 , oil on canvas
Romer Kitching (b. 1995) is an English oil painter living in Céret, France.
He began drawing and painting at a young age, and fell in love with art. At the age of 19, he left London for Florence to receive formal training at the Florence Academy of Art (2015-2018). There, he learned to work from life in natural light, a practice he steadfastly continues today.
After finishing his training, Romer moved to Céret, a town in the south of France with a rich artistic history. A place he had known since childhood, the town became his home and the center of his artistic universe. Here he learned to paint outdoors, immersing himself in nature and in the streets. This added a new dimension to his work, which had previously been studio-based.
Romer sells and exhibits his work internationally.
Commissions are always welcome, but please be aware that he works only from life.
