Felipe Romero Beltrán

Felipe Romero Beltrán (1992, Bogotá) is a Colombian artist based in Paris, working with photography and installation. His practice examines social and political structures, focusing on how systems of power shape contemporary realities. Rooted in documentary methodologies, his work explores the tensions that arise when new narratives are introduced into established visual frameworks.

He develops long-term, research-based projects that take the form of constructed visual ecosystems, allowing his work to engage documentary traditions while critically addressing how bodies are inscribed and regulated within institutional systems. His practice is informed by an academic background in photography, culminating in a PhD from the Complutense University of Madrid (2024).

His work has received international recognition, including the Emerige-CPGA Award at ARCOmadrid (2024), the Foam Paul Huf Award (2022), the Aperture Portfolio Prize (2022), and the KBr Photo Award (2024).
He has presented solo exhibitions at Carré d’Art, Musée d’art contemporain de Nîmes, Fundación MAPFRE, and La MEP, Paris, and has been shown at Paris Photo, ARCO Madrid, and ARTBO. His work is held in public collections such as Kadist Art Foundation, Carré d’Art, and MACBA.
He is currently a resident at La Cité des Arts, Paris, with the IN SITU program.
