Romy Fur is a multidisciplinary artist working with sculpture, photography, and drawing. Her work combines unexpected materials—plaster, metal, resin, plants, and found objects, usually found in nature — often in surprising and playful ways. Each piece is an exploration of transformation, where material and process become collaborators in a constantly evolving story.

Using a collage-like approach, Romy assembles elements that might not typically belong together: yellow cheese mosaic windows, maggots, jeans, an egg yolk frozen in time in an epoxy mould of an artichoke, wood that takes on abstract body-like forms, or bird of paradise flowers growing out of a rock or an egg. These combinations create a tension between the familiar and the surreal, encouraging viewers to see ordinary things in a new way and allowing for the imagination to run free.

Her work moves between abstraction and figuration, often hovering in an in-between space where objects take on new identities. Through layering and contrast, she creates pieces that feel both poetic and playful, inviting curiosity and reflection on cycles of transformation, the fragility of materials, and the shifting boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
