Mountopia
— 

Solo Exhibition shown at Gallery Rivoli
Geneva, Switzerland 2018 and Gallery Mommsenstr Berlin, Germany 2019. 







The mountain rises before our eyes.
Gigantic, immovable, eternal. A monument of the time.
We look at the endless masses of rock, clear lines and edgy shapes, shades of gray and gradients. The size of the mountains makes us humble and at the same time outgrow us we see overwhelming beauty and feel universal grandeur. But what do we actually see? And what do we not see?


MOUNTOPIA is the latest work by the Chilean artist Rommy Gonzalez and deals with these same questions.
In the center are the mountains and their composition,
which is removed layer by layer. Your singular elements that are extracted and be rearranged afterwards. Rock, minerals and plants merge it is own organic worlds beyond the obvious.

Mountain (English: mountain) meets Topia (Latin: landscape). Abstract, from the time fallen mountain landscapes, which can be understood as "tectonic art": For the not to grasp the human eye and yet always among us, always on the move.
It is no coincidence that Utopia sounds as well, because in Gonzalez 's imagination the elements of nature always a harmonious whole, an unconditional interaction
all life forms.


The inspiration for MOUNTOPIA was found by the artist through two magical places from her own life: The Andes in their homeland Chile are also among the larges Mountain ranges of the Earth like the Swiss Alps near their adopted hometown Geneva.

Microvitae

Solo Exhibition at Galería Lira
Santiago de Chile
February 2016.


We have long since moved away from nature and barely perceive their wealth of detail and functional beauty. As individuals isolated from each other, although we divide the living spaces through which we move, the universal similarities of all organisms at most still see as hazy foggy images.


The exhibition Microvitae is a wake-up call that raises our view of the fascinating symbioses of life again. This look passes through surfaces and literally penetrates into the interior: to the core of microscopically small cells, in whose living forms the great is reflected.

Inspired by animal and plant cell structures, Rommy Gonzalez creates fantastic micro-landscapes in which earthly dimensions are redefined. The parallels between the different cell types are surprising - and make it clear that there are only a few subtle differences responsible for the endless diversity of nature.

Microvitae is a biological-artistic exploration of the human form of life as part of the universal whole.

Matorral
— 

Mural court for the community of Santa Isabel in Santiago de Chile, project organized by Metro21 and supported by Gobierno Regional de Chile, Chile 2023.

Photos courtesy of Metro21, Chile 2023. 


This court draws inspiration from the captivating and multifaceted nature of the Matorral biome. The term "Matorral" itself, laden with both positive and negative connotations in popular Chilean culture, mirrors the diverse and complex experiences of our immigrant communities—Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Haiti—interwoven and coexisting, much like the dense thicket of the Matorral.

The Matorral, a Mediterranean biome with its own unique charm, flourishes in the face of adversity. Comprising a rich community of vegetation, including shrubs, trees, cacti, and bromeliads, it thrives in regions characterized by scorching summers and torrential winters. The artwork skillfully captures this resilience, reflecting the tenacity of our immigrant communities facing diverse challenges.

Emblematic plant species have been incorporated that resonate with our cultural identity. The "litre," the "quillay" in the central Chilean region, the "quisco" in the northern Andean zones of Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, as well as distinctive bromeliads from the tropical landscapes of Venezuela and Haiti, collectively inhabit the Matorral. These plant species serve as symbolic representatives of the rich diversity within our immigrant communities.




Symbiosis

Mural for Waterford Walls Festival, Project organized by The Walls Project and supported by Dirac and Chilean Embassy in Ireland, Waterford, Ireland 2022.


This mural is inspired by a special relationship that happens in the forest between orchids & fungi.
A complex symbiotic association where all orchids are dependent in different levels on mycorrhizal fungi in order to exist. From beneficial to exploitative relationships, orchids are excellent models for science to study symbiotic associations as these are fundamental to life on Earth.

In this composition you can see some orchids and the fungi fruiting bodies of the ones they connect with.

Mapufën

Mural court for the community of Pitrufquén, Araucanía. Project organized by Metro21, Chile 2020.




This court is a tribute to the wonderful beings that help our earth to exist: MUSHROOMS. The south of Chile is known for having a large diversity of fungi, they fed for hundreds of years the natives of that region: the MAPUCHE, who are currently very present in our culture. The title of the court it is written in their language, the MAPUZUNGUN and it means: MAPU= earth, FËN= fruit.

Isabel
— 

Visual Identity: Concept, Art Direction, Design and Illustration work for Television series inspired by the life of the world's most widely read Spanish-language author, Isabel Allende, whose books have been translated into 42 languages and sold over 77 million copies. Project commissioned by MEGA TV in Chile, HBO in USA and Amazon Prime Video in Spain, 2021.


This work represents courage, passion, determination and adventure. A young writer who leaves her country during the dictatorship to embark on a journey into the unknown in Venezuela. Flowers and plants have always been very important to Isabel Allende because they have their own language: exotic, erotic, magical, wild and unpredictable.
This botanical composition introduces you to plants and flowers from Central and South America. Reds, greens and blues that invite you to fall into a hypnotic and uncertain journey. ISABEL is a miniseries inspired by the intimate life of the acclaimed Chilean writer @allendeisabel.

Portrait by Gonzalo Murillo at Rommy´s Studio at B.L.O. Ateliers in Berlin 2026.

Rommy González (b. Santiago, 1986) is a Chilean visual artist and illustrator based in Berlin. With a background in design and art direction, she has developed her artistic practice for over a decade. Her work explores the intersections between nature, art, and science.

Inspired by the natural world, she examines both micro and macro perspectives, drawing from fields such as geology, microbiology, botany, and the fungal universe. These influences shape her bold, organic, and vibrant style, where color plays a fundamental role in creating imaginative landscapes.

Her artistic production spans multiple formats, including painting, illustration, installation, textile, video projection, and performance. Notably, her large-scale urban murals, full of color and vitality, aim to bring art into public spaces while celebrating the wonders of nature.

González’s work has been exhibited through exhibitions, murals and residencies and in Chile, Mexico, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Spain, the United States, and Hong Kong.
