RommyGon – Love over Power
As part of the Power of Female Art Festival 2024, Chilean artist RommyGon created a striking mural on the rooftop at Teufelsberg — a piece that captivates not only through its scale and color but, above all, through its powerful message: solidarity, empathy, and a call for peace.
A Quiet Gesture of Solidarity
The mural features a large white dove in mid-flight, wings fully outstretched, gliding gracefully across a teal-blue background. Surrounding it are bright green leaves and three vivid red blossoms, reminiscent of poppies. The dove is a universal symbol of peace; the poppy is often associated with remembrance and compassion for victims of war. Together, they form an image radiating hope and humanity.
“This mural is a gesture of solidarity with what is happening in the world right now and the people who are suffering at this moment, especially in Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo. It’s a call for unity, for peace, and for protection. Love over Power.”
The mural can only be seen from above — either from the upper gallery inside the tower or from the rooftop terrace near the radomes. This deliberate placement turns the piece into a quiet, almost hidden gesture — one that invites discovery rather than demanding attention. A visual symbol of care, set apart from the noise of the world.
“Art is my voice, and I decided to use it. This is my most genuine way of expressing how I feel towards the current world situation — one I simply cannot ignore. I need to speak out, in the most respectful way I can — as an artist, a mother, a woman, and above all, as a human being.”
Rommy’s Visual World
Born in 1986 in Santiago de Chile, Rommy González has lived in Berlin since 2014. After training in design and art direction, she began her career in visual communication before fully transitioning into her own artistic practice. For over a decade, her work has explored the intersections of nature, science, art, and human connection.
Her artistic language spans both micro and macro perspectives, drawing inspiration from geology, botany, microbiology, and fungal networks. Her style is organic, vibrant, and richly detailed, with color playing a fundamental role. Her compositions often balance scientific precision with emotional symbolism.
Rommy works across multiple media: painting, illustration, textile, installation, video, and performance. She is especially known for her large-scale, colorful murals in public spaces, which she has created in Chile, Mexico, Germany, France, Spain, Ireland, the USA, Hong Kong, and other countries.
With her rooftop mural at Teufelsberg, she delivers a message that is quiet yet powerful: a plea for unity over division, love over violence, peace over power. This work is not just something to look at — it’s something to pause for and feel. In a time when many voices compete to be heard, Rommy González’s art stands as a gentle yet potent symbol: Love over Power.
