David Roman

David Roman is a Romanian-British artist whose work explores the evolving role of the human in an age of accelerating technology. Drawing on sacred geometry, archetypal symbolism and traditional gilding techniques, his practice reflects on what it means to create with intention in a world increasingly shaped by automation.

Roman’s Homo Luminous series revisits the Vitruvian archetype to reflect on how ideas of human potential and creative agency are shifting in the age of artificial intelligence.

Rather than competing with technological speed, his work embraces deliberate, embodied making as a way of restoring depth and meaning to the act of creation.

By combining ancient materials with contemporary questions, Roman’s work invites viewers to reconsider the value of human creativity in a AI-driven era.

Roman works from his studio in Birmingham, UK.
