Los Angeles, CA – Art Angels is pleased to announce the representation of artist René Romero Schuler. Known for her emotionally charged portraits of women, drawing from influences as varied as classical portraiture, cinematic stills, and personal narrative to blur the line between the individual and the archetypal.
The figures in Schuler’s paintings are not posed for the viewer; they inhabit their own psychological landscapes. Rendered with Schuler’s signature muted palette and tactile surfaces, each figure carries the weight of lived experience: memory, loss, endurance, and self-possession. These women are specific yet universal, embodying a collective feminine force shaped by both fragility and fortitude.
Art Angels will debut new paintings with upcoming exhibitions and events to be announced. Schuler’s new book, One Hundred Paintings, is also available at the gallery. One Hundred Paintings represents over three years of artistic labor, exploring the visceral connection fostered by abstract figuration, the nature of isolation and duality, and the expressive possibilities of the feminine figure.

About René Romero Schuler
René Romero Schuler is an American painter and sculptor who creates powerful images that speak to the complexities of the human condition and the spirit that connects all human beings.
Feminine figures are a constant in Schuler’s art, which she claims is equal parts self-portraiture and depictions of the range of emotions she has experienced. Her challenging childhood imbues her work with an appreciation for the universal yet essentially intimate struggles and triumphs of human existence. In her quest for a feeling of connection, Schuler speaks to global and societal issues that impact us all.
Schuler’s paintings and sculptures are purposely semi-abstract and textured, rendering them open to interpretation by the viewer. Their power lies in the layers of applied materials scraped, carved and incised by hand and the elusive quality of the figures – wholistically beautiful but symbolic of the scars and flaws that shape individuals.
Currently represented by galleries across the U.S., Canada and Europe, Schuler has had major exhibitions throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia, and has work included in the permanent collections of numerous museums and institutions.
Schuler’s art and selected essays and poetry are collected into published works: René Romero Schuler: Life and Works, 2013; René Romero Schuler, 2016 and René Romero Schuler, 2019, now available in its second edition. A fourth book, Ladies, published by G Editions NYC was released in 2024. Her new book, 100 Paintings, which includes an introductory conversation with Cydney Payton (former director and curator of the Denver Art Museum), was published by Jasper Press in March 2026.
