Marta Troya (b. 1995) is a Spanish visual artist currently based in Málaga, Spain. Her artistic journey has been shaped by both academic training and international experiences, beginning with her studies in Fine Art and History of Art at Kingston School of Art in London, followed by a scholarship to study Sculpture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. She completed her Master’s in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2018, where she developed a distinctive voice that bridges contemporary practice and traditional craft.
Marta’s artistic practice is deeply interdisciplinary, incorporating weaving, ceramics, glassmaking, printmaking, and other traditional crafts. Her work emerges from collaborations with artisans across the globe, from Morocco to China, blending autobiographical narratives with ancient techniques. Marta explores themes of art as a ritualistic and healing practice, intuition, and the intersections between humanity, nature, and the body, using each medium as a language to convey profound ideas.
Driven by curiosity and a nomadic spirit, she continuously seeks to expand her knowledge of artisanal methods, creating work that confronts ancestral knowledge with contemporary concerns. Her artistic expression spans sculpture, mixed-media installations, and textiles, all united by an attentive, intimate perspective on material, process, and narrative.
Marta’s work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in China, the UK, Spain, Morocco, and Portugal. She has also participated in international artist residencies in the US, UK, India, China, Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, building a practice that thrives at the intersection of craft and fine art.
