About Me :)

I’m Fernando “Ski” Romero, a graffiti artist and muralist born and raised in Astoria, Queens. My journey into graffiti began in the 1990’s, painting subways and streets just like all the graffiti writers that influenced me growing up in New York.

After graduating from Thomas Edison High School, I studied at Parsons School of Design, earning a Marketing degree in 2002. I spent several years working in PR and Marketing, but my passion for art never faded. In 2005, I left my corporate job to sell my work in SoHo outside 114 Prince Street. What started as fun quickly became real. By 2009, my evolving style caught the attention of galleries, leading to my first group exhibitions at Cheryl Hazan (2008) and Eden Fine Art (2009).

Since then, my art has taken me around the world—not just for exhibitions but for collaborations, community projects, and working with inner-city youth, one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. My work has been featured on Californication, Ray Donovan, and Hot97 and in collaborations with brands like Davidoff Cigars, Round21, and NBA Lab to name a few.

For me, it’s all about growth—pushing creative boundaries, evolving as an artist, and forging meaningful connections through my work.

Today, you can find my work at Hamilton Selway in L.A., and Pop International Galleries in NYC, where I’ve been proudly represented for nearly 15 years.
