Gabriel Roca (Tenerife, 1959-) is a multidisciplinary artist whose final work is as important as the process. His work consists of generating sounds, wind, movements and vibrations to create drawings with matter. He manipulates native materials (sand, stones, pine needles), thus revising their traditional uses to arrive at a reinterpretation of our reality and our environment.

His creative process is based on his interest in science and nature applied to the graphic process. Dots, drawing, the forest, repetition and experimentation with different techniques are resources that Gabriel uses to recreate nature in his work. He creates calligraphy that portrays elements of the landscape; as Ángel Padrón explains, he creates “an image that becomes text.”
