Romulo Tijero Lozano (1976) is a French-Peruvian fine art photographer based in Bergen, Norway. He believes in evolving things. That's why his approach to photography is also self-therapy. It feeds him with new remarkable experiences. In that respect, nature and urban life are essential topics for him.
He feels that both of them expand his creative process.
Romulo has participated in exhibitions in Italy, Greece, USA, and Scotland. Likewise, he has achieved recognition in international competitions such as the 7th Fine Art Photography Awards 2021, Budapest International Foto Awards 2020, Chromatic Awards 2020, and Tokyo International Foto Awards 2020.
CO: To those who are not familiar with you or your work; how would you briefly explain it?
RT: My photographic approach arises from my interest in discovering the natural and cultural heritage surrounding me. I give particular emphasis to details such as reflections on surfaces, abstractions, tranquility, and movement.
CO: What is the most important drive for you to create and why?
RT: The careful observation of the natural or cultural environment is the basis of my creative impulse.
CO:How do your own experiences influence your work?
RT: My multicultural background has allowed me to have access to a variety of experiences. It has shaped my way of thinking and my photography process.
CO: Can you elaborate on an important moment in your life where you experienced a big change, chose to make one or another event which altered your way of thinking or your approach to creativity ?
RT: I've always been amazed by the beauty of nature and cultural heritage. In that sense, I got involved in photography while documenting ecotourism experiences in Peru in 2006. After working for more than a decade as a sustainable development consultant, I decided to return to school and study photography as a new creative career.
CO: What do you want to communicate through your work?
RT: Is there a message - political or otherwise?I enjoy observing, in detail, the world around me. With the desire to share what I feel, I discovered that photography is the perfect medium to share a view and an emotion.
CO: Who or what do you value as a great inspiration for you creatively?
RT: Influential artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Ernst Hass, Brett Weston, and Saul Leiter still significantly impact my aesthetics. In the same way, nature and cultural heritage are endless sources of inspiration.
CO:How does digital and social media affect or inspire your life and creations?
RT: In a way, it provides me with inspirational ideas, and it serves as a thermometer of public preferences about my pictures.CO:Do artists of today have some kind of of social responsibility?Art and social responsibility are intimately related nowadays. Magnum Photos and Banksy are good contemporary examples of that convergence.
CO:If you could change one thing in the world today, what would it be?
RT: That would be access to high-quality education. As a human right, education allows people to get out of poverty and level of inequalities, providing the tools for sustainable development in the actual process of climate change.
CO: What does «collective» mean for you?
RT: For me, collective means multiplying forces in an interactive and synergistic effort.
CO: What are the main reasons you collaborate with COLLECTIVE OSLO?
RT: As an interdisciplinary art platform, I'm counting on participating in a new movement involving collaborations, exhibitions, and commercial input for my photographs.
CO:What role do you think art should play in today's society?
RT: From ancient religious art performances to today's street art movement, it has always had an extraordinary power: to sensitize people.
CO:What do you aspire to? In the near future? In life in general?
RT: I'm constantly looking for new experiences that positively impact me as a person and, ultimately, as a photographer. In that sense, the intimate connection with nature is something that I intend to continue cultivating.
