Mike Roman likes to use some Mexican icons and Mexican artist Frida in his work. He uses her in a form of a mermaid playing a guitar. He also uses religious icons like the Milagros. More than anything Mike Roman says his work is not about the subject but how to use colors and and mediums to make the art pop out. He prefers his art to look rough and rugged.
Watching his different pieces of work, I can see how unafraid he is to use any kind of colors to make the composition pop. I was trying to use this same kind of attitude towards my last painting, to try and use pattern and color to make my subject stand out.
