About

Adrián Viajero Román is an interdisciplinary artist and advocate living and working between Brooklyn, NY, and the island-archipelago of Puerto Rico. His practice spans portraiture, assemblage, installation, painting, and sculpture and explores issues of race, migration, memory, sacred materiality, and identity. Through his signature fusion of drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, Román reimagines traditional portraiture by creating environments that offer potent cultural and historical context for understanding the current socio-political issues faced by Puerto Rican community members on the island and in New York City. He is as dedicated to paying homage to complex narratives of collective and individual strength, resistance, resilience, and dignity as he is committed to confronting the systemic issues his communities face.
