Lawrence Romorini, Artist & Founder of One Of A Kind, Inc. Art Studio
Artist Lawrence Romorini transforms history into art with 3-dimensional collages that celebrate corporate milestones and honor leaders in an extraordinary, meaningful way. With over 30 years of experience, he will ensure your One Of A Kind story is never forgotten.
Since founding One Of A Kind Art Studio in 1985, Romorini’s unparalleled originality and expert craftsmanship have earned him the praise and loyalty of Fortune 100 clients. With meticulous care, he transforms miniaturized photos, publications, and memorabilia into exquisite portraits of companies, organizations and leaders. The result? A powerful presentation and lasting legacy.
As a premier 3-dimensional collage artist, his work has universal appeal and global reach. Past commissions include renowned names like Nike, Oprah Winfrey, Cisco Systems, Ernst & Young, Intel, Merrill Lynch, Michael Jordan, Marriott and Southwest Airlines. Clients commission artwork to mark anniversaries, honor CEO retirements, and celebrate life achievements.
Born in Milan, Italy, Romorini’s fascination with the magic of miniature began at a young age. Inspired by his grandfather’s intricate ship in a bottle, Romorini’s art is likewise built to stand the test of time. Over a 100 years later, the ship is still on display! Romorini’s pieces, created with museum-quality materials, are on display in corporate lobbies and private collections.
After moving from Italy to New York City, Romorini began working for a top communications firm, Doyle Dane Bernbach, as an art director. It was there that he honed his ability to visually capture a story. This talent later led him to establish his own advertising agency in Washington, D.C.
Romorini founded One Of A Kind Art Studio in 1985, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. His appreciation for history led to a business where his passion, skill, and unwavering dedication to storytelling comes alive through art.
The first commission? USA TODAY, to commemorate their 5th anniversary and honor the founder. The next? Kenny Roger’s 50th birthday, followed by Jack Kemp’s retirement from Congress, a Christmas gift for Oprah Winfrey, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Hundreds of subsequent commissions followed, for companies, CEOs, athletes, hospitals, universities and associations. Romorini won a CLIO Award for his groundbreaking creative work displayed in the 75th anniversary collage for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He also shares an Apex Award with the Risk Management Association for lobby art created to commemorate their 100th anniversary.
When Romorini isn’t engaged in the many facets of producing 3-dimensional art, he enjoys the beauty of nature in Rock Creek Park in Chevy Chase, Maryland. 365 days a year at 6:30 a.m. you’ll find him walking through the trails, rain or shine, finding inspiration.
