Born in Manila into a family of highly creative people, she grew up alongside great Filipino artists such as Cesar Legaspi, Romulo Olazo, Gus Albor, Lee Aguinaldo, Onib Olmedo, Ben Cabrera, and Justin Nuyda.

Romina was fortunate enough to call this art haven a home. Moving to Florence, she specialized in the new language of multi-media art where she ventured mixing visual art, photography, installation, and video. She has since been active and participated in exhibitions both locally and abroad.

As the artist recalls: "Growing up and inside a contemporary art gallery I was fortunate enough to see thousands of paintings come in and out of my house, I was familiar with their different styles and expressions. Abstraction has always been part of my life and I continue to look for it in daily objects and moments.

I left for Italy to study art and came to fall in love with Photography, maybe it was because it was so different from what I was so familiar with which was visual painting and sculpted Art. A medium that no one in my house could criticize since it wasn't part of their forte.
In Florence, I specialized in the new language of multi-media art allowing me to venture into mixing visual art, photography, installation, and video. This mix of media that represented much of my time, was and still is an amazing medium."
