News

ROMULUS stands for bold beginnings, resilience through transformation, and the founding of something that endures. Drawing on the myth of Romulus, the founder of Rome, this name evokes the spirit of creating from scratch, forging identity, and building community from raw vision and determination. At Romulus Folio, this energy translates into a space that champions truth-telling, creative risk-taking, and the belief that powerful, lasting change begins at the grassroots. It is a name that honours both mythic strength and contemporary reinvention, where every artist and artwork becomes part of a larger narrative of courage, rebirth, and collective growth.

Bold. To create is to take risks. We love art, installations and artists who dare to disrupt, innovate, and redefine what’s possible.

Brave. Art is born from courage—the willingness to be vulnerable, to explore the unknown, and to confront truth with honesty and depth.

Believe. We trust in the power of art to change the way we experience the world, and we stand by the artists who embody that belief.

Collaboration, Creativity and community

ROMULUS is artist-led, built on the belief that art shapes how we engage with private, commercial, and public spaces. We provide a platform for artists to showcase their work, collaborate, and grow—while also serving as a gateway to new opportunities, creative partnerships, and expanded audiences.

We are open to innovative ways of celebrating art as a powerful way of creating a dynamic and includsive culture.

we celebrate artists and art that push boundaries, challenge perspectives, and reveal new ways of seeing.

We are more than a gallery, we are a space for transformation, resilience, and fearless creativity.
