Guillermo Romero Parra (*Madrid, lives and works in Madrid and Ibiza) is the founder and director of Parra & Romero, a gallery established in Madrid in 2005. Since it opened its doors, the line of the gallery has been based on the investigation of new languages in contemporary art between the boundaries of conceptual and minimal art.
The gallery programme is specialised in the encounter between national and international artists through a conversations programme parallel to the gallery exhibitions, as well as projects curated by invited curators, this programme being a fundamental pillar in the idea of using the gallery as a laboratory to interrogate new dialogues in contemporary art.
In July 2012, Parra & Romero Gallery embarked on a new adventure, opening up a second space in the heart of rural Ibiza. Considering the island as one of the most international meeting points, this massive warehouse champions the idea that the island can evolve through art while reclaiming the legacy of Ibiza as a place for intellectuals.
Following the mission to bolster the art life of the island throughout the year, including during the winter, Romero Parra opened a third gallery in the village of Santa Gertrudis in 2022.
Before starting his own venture, Guillermo Romero Parra worked for Christie’s, White Cube and Victoria Miro. He is currently teaching Contemporary Art Theory and market at Salamanca University (USAL).
