Roxana Gheorghe

Visual Artist Exploring Architecture, Memory, and Abstraction

Layers of intervention and reconstruction expose the city as an evolving structure shaped by continual change.

Roxana Gheorghe is a New York–based visual artist working between photography and geometric abstraction.

Migration Reshapes It.

Architecture Holds Memory.

Identity Reconstructs It.

Through abstract architectural photography and geometric fragmentation, Roxana Gheorghe examines how identity is built, displaced, and reconstructed.

Reflection disrupts the logic of the grid, creating a shifting visual system between structure and perception.

Light becomes structure.

Reflection becomes instability.

What appears broken becomes a way of seeing.

Featured Projects

Downtown Story, abstract architectural artwork by Roxana Gheorghe, created from a photograph of Lower Manhattan and transformed through geometric fragmentation, color, and structural intervention.

Glass towers rise above cobblestones. New buildings stand beside traces of New York’s past.

The Story Behind Downtown Story

Broken transforms photographs of New York City architecture through fragmentation, geometric intervention, and color. Buildings become unstable yet recognizable, reflecting experiences of migration, memory, and reconstruction. Moving between representation and abstraction, the series reimagines the built environment as a space where identity is continually reshaped.

The spiraling geometry of the Guggenheim Museum is translated into a rhythmic arrangement of color, line, and movement, transforming architecture into a visual score.

Architecture becomes rhythm.

Geometry becomes movement.

The New York City New Bauhaus Project

2023-2025

New York City New Bauhaus explores New York architecture through layered geometric interventions inspired by Bauhaus and Constructivist principles.

The series established the formal vocabulary that evolved into my ongoing Broken series, where fragmentation and structural displacement become central metaphors for memory, migration, and transformation.

The Artist

Roxana Gheorghe is a New York City–based visual artist working in photography and digital abstraction.

Drawing on her background in engineering and her experience of migration from Bucharest to New York, she transforms photographs of urban architecture into geometric compositions that explore memory, identity, and structural change.
