Part of a larger body of work, the Chicano Iconography series explores the cultural and political identity of the Chicano community. Romero’s characteristic bold colors and iconic motifs are present and reflect on his experiences growing up in East Los Angeles. Objects drawn from the aesthetics of muralism and pop art stand as symbolic imagery for broader themes like social justice, culture, and identity.
