Marius Ritiu (b. 1984, Romania) creates bold, monumental sculptures that feel like they’ve landed from another planet. Working primarily with hammered copper, a material charged with history and symbolism, he transforms discarded objects into celestial forms that blur the line between the earthly and the cosmic.

Now based in Antwerp, Belgium, Ritiu invites viewers to step out of the everyday and into a universe where planets, myths, and ancient materials collide. His work resonates with themes of global interconnectedness, human legacy, and our place in the universe, always with a poetic and powerful visual language.

Ritiu’s sculptures are not only visually striking, they carry deep narratives that unfold the longer you engage with them. His work has been exhibited across Europe and the US, and continues to captivate collectors, curators, and dreamers alike.
