ABOUT ROMANs
What are ROMANs?
It’s not perfect, but there’s something endearing about it.
ROMANs is a pop art brand created by Giorgio Saulini, an artist based in Rome, Italy.
His colorful and approachable style embeds philosophical questions such as "What is a human?" and "What is life?"
With a mysterious charm that seeks to deeply understand one's own existence while moving and provoking thought in the viewer, ROMANs is humanistic art that draws you in before you even realize it.
THE WORLD OF ROMANS
fictional world
Humanity, with a pop sensibility.
ROMANs' works are cute and humorous, yet beneath that surface lie deep questions about humanity and society.
The feelings and stories that arise will surely differ from person to person. The world of ROMANs' art leaves a sense of free space, inviting viewers to enjoy even those differences.
At first glance, they are pop and fun. But as you gaze at them, you find yourself thinking just a little bit about your own self.
ROMANs depicts the mysterious charm of that "humanity."

The inherited lineage of art
The Saulini family is a dynasty of artists with a multi-generational legacy in the arts.
The second and third generations, Tommaso and Luigi, were prominent cameo engravers active in Rome starting in the early 1800s.
At the height of their career, they served as artists by appointment to the British Royal Family under Queen Victoria,
and their works are housed in major museums around the world, including the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,
and the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
The seventh generation to inherit this artistic lineage is Giorgio Saulini.

ABOUT THE LOGO
About the ROMANs logo
A person who continues to search for their "other half."
The ROMANs logo is inspired by the myth told by Aristophanes in Plato's "Symposium."
According to the myth, humans were once complete beings.
However, they were split in two by Zeus, the king of the gods, and ever since, people have spent their lives searching for their lost other half.
This story of "searching for the other half" also mirrors the way in which people seek to understand themselves and find their own identity through their relationships with others.
The two halves depicted in the ROMANs logo symbolize both human imperfection and the connections between people.
We are not complete on our own. That is precisely why we seek out others, encounter them, and shape who we are in the process.
The ROMANs brand embodies this perspective on the human condition.
