Romeo Niram's artistic work is connected to physics above all, but also to philosophy, theology, literature, and cinema.
His work was presented in the series "Brâncuși E=mc2" at the conference "Art and Physics" in Tel Aviv, organized by the cultural association New Vision Rromani. The series identifies similarities in between physics and sculpture, in Albert Einstein's cosmology and Constantin Brâncuși's art.
In 2008, a thesis on his series "Diary - Mircea Eliade – Essay" [2] was presented by art critic Begoña Fernández Cabaleiro at the International Congress of Art History, University of Murcia, Spain.
At the invitation of the Reales Tercios General Manuel Fuentes Cabrera, Romeo Niram painted in 2009 the portrait of Prince Felipe and Princess Leticia of Spain, and offered the painting to the couple on their 5th wedding anniversary. The painting is entitled "The Gate of the Kiss of Asturias". Its frame was made by Bogdan Ater; it represents Brâncuși's sculpture The Gate of the Kiss.
In 2004, Niram founded in Lisbon "Diaspora", [3] the first bilingual cultural newspaper in Portugal.
In Spain, he founded the fine arts magazine “Niram Art”, which received several awards for cultural journalism (Best Arts Magazine) from the Movement for Contemporary Art in Portugal. The magazine contains articles in four languages, also in English.
In 2008, he founded "Espacio Niram", a cultural and artistic venue and art gallery in Madrid. Espacio Niram was also recognised in 2010 by MAC Lisboa for its contribution in support of arts in general and of young artists and writers from the Iberian Peninsula.
In 2010, he founded Niram Art Publishing House, which has published books of essay, fiction, poetry and art. The Niram Art Awards were established, given each year to both young and established artists, writers and other personalities from Spain, France, Israel, Romania, Mexico.
In 2009, Romeo Niram was invited to become part of the Spanish group "Reales Tercios", a military chivalric order which date back to the Middle Ages, which now promotes arts and culture.
In September 2009, Romeo Niram was decorated for his artistic and cultural merits by the Reales Tercios.
Constantin Brâncuși was a Romanian sculptor, painter, and photographer who made his career in France. Considered one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century and a pioneer of modernism, Brâncuși is called the patriarch of modern sculpture. As a child, he displayed an aptitude for carving wooden farm tools. Formal studies took him first to Bucharest, then to Munich, then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1905 to 1907. His art emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art. Brâncuși sought inspiration in non-European cultures as a source of primitive exoticism, as did Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, André Derain, and others. However, other influences emerge from Romanian folk art traceable through Byzantine and Dionysian traditions.
The Sculptural Ensemble of Constantin Brâncuși at Târgu Jiu is an homage to the Romanian heroes of the First World War. The ensemble comprises three sculptures: The Table of Silence, The Gate of the Kiss, and the Infinity Column on an axis 1.3 km long, oriented west to east. The ensemble is considered to be one of the great works of 20th-century outdoor sculpture. The ensemble was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2024.
