About me...
“I have been a storyteller, clown dresser, stage mopper, puppet doctor, with my hands full of paint and my pockets full of tools.”
Daniela Romero Pasin is a Spanish Argentinian mixed media artist based in Canada. Her work is deeply influenced by a lifelong engagement with the performing arts, having trained and worked as a playwright, actress, and stage director since a young age.
Her immersive years working behind the scenes under the big top profoundly shaped her artistic practice. Surrounded by the dynamic, whimsical, and often gritty energy of the touring circus, she found inspiration in the vibrant eclecticism, and profound multicultural environment of the circus. She cultivated her technical skills by working closely with stage painters, prop builders, and costume designers, she learned to repurpose unconventional materials and textiles and experimented with different techniques.
Drawing from this nomadic life spent traveling across cultures, Romero Pasin’s work explores themes of transformation, memory, identity, and human connection. Through mixed media processes, she creates narrative-driven works that inhabit the space between visual art and performance, where materiality becomes a vehicle for storytelling and emotional resonance.
About my work...
Daniela captures magic in the ordinary creating poetical and sometimes surreal works. Her artistic practice is rooted in the exploration of antiques, found objects, vintage imagery, ephemera, and memorabilia, which serve as both material and conceptual foundations for her work. Drawn to the histories and emotional resonances embedded within everyday objects, she uncovers their poetic potential through processes of transformation, recontextualization, and assemblage.
By creating unexpected connections and layered metaphors, she invites new readings of familiar materials and narratives. Her research centers on themes of memory, identity, and cycles—examining the interconnected processes of remembering and forgetting, consumption and regeneration, and the relationship between human footprints and nature. Through the reuse of discarded and overlooked materials, her work reflects an ongoing interest in sustainability, renewal, and the ways objects can carry, preserve, and reinvent meaning across time.
“I usually begin a piece with an idea in mind and then allow myself to get lost. Is a meditative process where I try to detach from my mind and let my intuition be the guide. Like in an Exquisite Corpse, I put together disconnected pieces and allow them to find a new meaning and tell a new story.”
