Roig, a contemporary Fine Artist who was born in NYC in 1983, has Art Galleries in Westfield, Chatham and Hoboken NJ. Roig also exhibits his work in the W Hoboken Hotel expansive Artist in Residence Window Gallery on River Street in Hoboken, NJ and has been partnered with the W Hotels since 2018. This wonderful partnership with W Hotels has brought an international audience with a most recent invitation to demonstrate his unique process in Ritz-Carlton residences from Long Island, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Miami. These successful interactions lead to an invitation for him to demonstrate his Art to the residents of the Edition Hotel South Beach. Additionally, The Roig Experience is an elevated Art experience offered at the W Hoboken in their WOW Suite. In addition to watching his process in real time, you will also get the opportunity to collaborate to create a unique piece together.
Roig’s work continues to extend its reach from Hoboken to Baltimore to NY’s Upper East side to Boston exhibited with the Copley Society of Arts on Newbury Street. Roig's work was also recently exhibited at KEAN University as he was selected as their Artist in Residence from 2023-4. Roig can also be seen across industries as he has been commissioned by W Hotels, Saks 5th Avenue/ Streetworks, Christie’s, NYU Stern School of Business, Rockrose Development NYC, Amazon, The Beekman Hotel, Hilton Hotels, City of Jersey City, City of Hoboken, Town of Westfield NJ, MGM and among many other notable private clients across the globe.
Roig's original works promote a renewed sense of beauty juxtaposed with masterful technique. To carry the torch in new innovative approaches to the printed image, Roig creates daily while celebrating the heroes of Japanese woodblock prints and expressing our modern world in new light and colors. When Roig isn't in the studio, he loves to spend time with his wife of eleven years, draw and read books with his two sons under 6. His love for creating and giving is why The Roig family has also created the Roig Family Art Scholarship with the Kean University Foundation to provide financial aid in perpetuity to Fine Art Students enrolling at Kean.
Roig has also recently been selected for a Special Achievement Award by the Union County Commissioners office for his Human Rights efforts through his mural exhibition with Kean University, sits on the Advisory Board for the Galleries at Kean program, and is a part of the Superintendent of Westfield NJ Public Schools DEI Advisory board.
