Biography
Adrian Roman is a versatile art director, illustrator, designer and artist. He
graduated from New World School of Art in 2001, where he studied drawing
and sculpture. He also received a degree in graphic design.
Since 1998, he has been creating unexpected connections between people,
ideas and art. His distinct ideas and visual style has also been behind a
succession of designs for Jack Daniels, GMAC, Heavy Inc, Takkle Inc. and
other leading companies. Prior to launching a freelance career, Adrian was
Design Director at Takkle.com, where he led the redesign and directed both
in-house and sub-contracted designers in interface development, animation and
interactive design.
His illustrations, paintings and sculptures have been recognized by websites
around the globe. His one of a kind style has also been included in various
exhibitions throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
Artist Statement
The name 'Viajero' evolved from a caricature into the philosophy of my work. I
believe we are all travelers on a journey through life, a voyage of infinite
possibilities. Through our travels, we stop briefly to meet, love and share
encounters with one another; however precious, these moments are transient.
The term " Viajero" is a representation of our journeys and my purpose is to
carry the consciousness of timeless being, in the midst of a time-bound
experience. Family, culture, history, and LIFE are the inspirations of my work.
These are the ingredients of my identity. Various types of wood are my current
canvas of choice. The cracks, colors, textures, and "imperfections" of the
wood help support the stories.
