Robert Hromec Between Heart and Reason

Between Heart and Reason
Solo Exhibition by Robert Hromec
Curated by Giorgio Agnisola
Spazio COMEL Contemporary Art – Via Neghelli 68, Latina
Opening: Saturday, May 10, 6:00 PM

Coming directly from Bratislava (Slovakia), artist Robert Hromec arrives at Spazio COMEL for his solo exhibition “Between Heart and Reason”. As the winner of the 11th edition of the COMEL Award, Hromec returns to Latina to present a body of work that reflects his unique artistic vision.

Curated by Giorgio Agnisola, writer and art critic, the exhibition offers the public an opportunity to discover an entirely distinctive artistic world—rich in color, gesture, and aluminium.
The artist was deeply inspired by the title and theme of the very first COMEL Award, held in 2012, and chose to name this exhibition “Between Heart and Reason” as a tribute to that formative concept.
On display will be a selection of medium- and large-scale works created using mixed media on aluminium plates. Beyond painting, Hromec manipulates the metal in a variety of ways—scratching, incising, and etching the surface—thus introducing a sense of three-dimensionality into his compositions.

This body of work has been created specifically for the exhibition at Spazio COMEL, and continues the artistic path initiated with his Allegria series, currently on view at the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum in Bratislava. It represents a reflection on rebirth and a natural inclination toward non-verbal communication, expressed through color and material presence.
Between Heart and Reason adds another dimension to this ongoing exploration: it investigates the tension between emotional intuition and rational thought, and introduces the idea of instinct as a driving force—an impulse that may seem spontaneous or uncalculated, yet carries within it an inherent logic.

The exhibition, which will open on Saturday, May 10 at 6:00 PM, will remain open daily from 5:00 to 8:00 PM until May 25, and is held under the patronage of the Municipality of Latina.

As part of the exhibition program, on Wednesday, May 14 at 6:00 PM, there will be a special presentation of the book “Journey into the Art of the Stars” (Viaggio nell’Arte delle Stelle) by Giorgio Agnisola, published by Donzelli Editore.
