Romps creates
abstract paintings as a practice of sustained attention. Rather than illustrating an idea or reproducing what is already visible, her work follows colour, gesture, accumulation, and intuition toward experiences that resist easy resolution.
For Romps, abstraction is not an escape from reality but another way of encountering it. Her paintings create space for ambiguity, perception, and imaginative thought to emerge outside of recognition and habit.
