Marián Roma (b. 2002, Madrid, Spain) is a multimedia and multidisciplinary artist whose practice bridges the tangible and the virtual, exploring the intricate dynamics of identity, materiality, and narrative. Based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Roma engages in the creation and transformation of objects, investigating how systems, lore, and contemporary virtual discourse shape ontological identity and intimacy.

Roma’s work is deeply rooted in dualities—the ephemeral and eternal, sacred and profane, virtual and physical. By reimagining historical and cultural iconography, he examines how societies construct and deconstruct meaning through symbols, rituals, and narratives. His practice interrogates the digital realm as a vertiginous space of spiritual longing, where notions of protection, divinity, and connection are simultaneously sought and destabilized.

Roma crafts intricate surfaces that reflects the fragility and transformation inherent in both digital and physical worlds. His creative philosophy, encapsulated in the declaration “I am allowed to destroy everything I built,” mirrors the impermanence of identity and meaning in the contemporary landscape.

Through his exploration of internet folklore, speculative metaphysics, and consumer psychology, Roma illuminates the performative dimensions of spirituality and emotional yearning in the digital age. His works challenge viewers to confront the uncertainties and dualities of their own curated realities, inviting reflection on the blurred lines between authenticity, ritual, and constructed experience.
