Daniel Robial

Daniel Roibal is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the profound connection between nature, perception, and presence. Deeply influenced by an immersive walk through the forest—a moment of quiet revelation—Roibal became attuned to the untamed rhythms of the natural world: its unpredictability, spontaneity, and resistance to human control. This encounter reshaped his understanding of nature not as something to be possessed, but as a living, moving entity that mirrors the ebb and flow of our own inner landscapes.

At the heart of Roibal's practice lies the concept of contemplation. His work seeks to cultivate spaces of stillness and introspection, encouraging a conscious engagement with the present moment. Drawing on this philosophy, Roibal creates immersive environments that invite the viewer to pause, breathe, and surrender to the experience of simply being. Rather than acting as passive observers, participants in Roibal’s installations are guided into a state of heightened awareness—one that blurs the boundary between the internal and external, the self and the natural world.

Roibal's aim is not just to depict nature, but to restore our relationship to it. Through spatial design, sensory engagement, and a reverence for the ephemeral, his work becomes a portal to deeper presence and connection—threads of perception that gently weave us back into the fabric of the living world.

As writer Kelly Foster aptly describes: “Roibal seeks to enable the viewer to become an active participant in the work… to fully engage with the space, themselves, and the natural world, in a state of heightened awareness and appreciation.”
