Oscar Romp

Studio artworks can easily become stale and distant from the subjects they depict. Why paint from a photograph - you already have the photo?

Live Drawing

I can be commissioned to create images of live events from archeological digs to carnivals and garden parties. Using the same skills that I developed to capture images of moving dancers in clubs, I can also capture the atmosphere and drama of an event, a place or a landscape.
