Morfogénesis
The origins of the form as super-structure
This artistic and research project is accompanied by a triad of books carried out in 2015, as a result of an intensive reflection to reveal the bridges and multiple connections existing between the scientific field and the world of artistic creation. [Daniel Romero Nieto, Morphogenesis as Superstructure, 2015].
The Morphogenesis project is articulated around a triple discursive axis. The first, “The Origins of Creativity”, appears as a meeting point between art & science. The second, “The Origins of the Universe Chaos - Cosmos” is offered as a result of the implementation of a work of art which adopts ideas from the field of Physics, namely the Chaos and Cosmos Theory, as evidences of the first reading into the pictorial works. The third part, “The Origins of Plastic Form”, displays the first outcomes of a research on the origins of form regarding the thought processes at play in the act of creation. [Daniel Romero Nieto, Morphogenesis as Superstructure, Museo Ugo Cará, Italia, 2015].
As a result of this project I am currently developing an artistic research that sets out to explore, analyze and work the process behind the improvisation as a creative act in visual arts using; engraving, sculpture, and paint as an artistic medium. The project consists in deconstruct the improvisation act at different levels; from the fundamental aspect up to the experience trough it. This research trough art attempts to contextualize the spontaneous act in the process of; production, perception and communication. And with this in mind, developing new strategies to learn from the creative visual development, using cognitive unconscious process attached the previews experience gained as tools to construct knowledge.
The research project has two overlapping aims: One is to explore the fundamentals and potentials of “improvisation” in visual production, perception and communication, where the correlation between them is predominant. While the other is develop strategies to learn and build Knowledge from the visual artistic process that could transposed from the academy to the society.
Research questions ¿?
-
Would be possible to reveal the unseen forces behind the improvisation?
-
What would happen if these unseen forces could be correlating in new ways or levels of communication?
-
Would be possible to communicate beyond the conscious state of mind?

Don’t think too hard "Use the Brain"
Improvisation as way of learning
This piece is a gift to science, for expanding my rational vision and be able to observe and delimit my inner chaos within the composition. As did the Russian Chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev, who discovered the underlying pattern to arrange the Periodic Table, I borrowed the tabular form of the periodic table to group The Elements of the last minute in a certain composition.
The Elements of the last minute
The key to the universe
Sun and water
In the project "The Key to the Universe" I reflect on freedom as an element of resonance with nature, which is present in all three phases of the creation of my work: Pre-process; freedom in the observation of nature at different scales and phases of matter; Creative process; freedom as an intimate necessity for the human being; and in the post-process of analysis and synthesis; freedom as an esthetic-formal aspect.
Romero conceives art as a scientific means to explore reality and the human being.
