Úrsula Romero is an internationally recognised British painter whose emotionally charged and botanically symbolic works bring us closer to the mystical, the metaphysical and the sublime. Around her creative axis spin ideas about longing and desire, being lost or trapped, dreams, destiny, fertility and loss. As a flower painter, Úrsula explores divergent approaches to botanical observation in order to challenge the efficacy of our existing visual language, ultimately inviting audiences to think beyond their own interactions with plants and their deeper meaning.

Having studied botany to Masters level and being self taught in painting, Úrsula offers stirring visual metaphors for complex scientific and spiritual ideas. Her paintings are meditations on nature and the mysteries of us passing through space and time. She uses flowers and leaves as her muse to tell her own autobiography. She describes all of her works as self portraits.  

She is also a writer, curator and sound artist with 14 years of experience working with historical collections. She travels widely, collaborating with institutions, artists, designers and students and has paintings in both public and private collections.
