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, though it was not until he traveled to Italy at the age of 19 that he received a formal training at the Florence Academy of Art (2015-2018). What he learned in Florence, he continues to apply in his work today, always working directly from life and using a natural light source wherever possible.

After finishing his training, Romer moved to Céret, a town in the south of France with a rich artistic history. A place that he knew since childhood, this town became his home and the center of his artistic universe. Here he learned to paint outdoors, in nature and in the streets. This added a new dimension to his work, which had previously all been completed in a studio.

Romer sells his work internationally and has had exhibitions in London and the south of France.

Commissions are always welcome, but please be aware that he works only from life.
