ADRIA MARXIA (b. 1991) is a Slovak artist and scholar focusing on socio-political art. She studied Modern History and International Relations at the London School of Economics (LSE) and lives and works between Paris and Bratislava.

As a trained historian and political scientist, her work engages with systems of power, governance, and inequality. Her practice addresses urgent social, political, economic, and environmental conditions, examining structures that shape contemporary life, including consumerism, digital control, ecological crisis, labour, corporate power, and global injustice. Drawing on her background in policy and diplomacy, she translates these systems into visual form through painting, mixed media, and photography. Using repetition, symbolism, and familiar visual languages, her work reveals how value, access, and identity are constructed. Her visual language merges Art Deco elegance with Expressionist intensity, forming a contemporary aesthetic of political and cultural critique.

Alongside her artistic practice, she has worked within European institutions and governmental consulting contexts, gaining direct insight into mechanisms of decision-making and institutional power. This experience informs her analytical approach to artistic production. Her practice is further informed by research-based stays across Europe, Africa, and the United States. Her artworks have been exhibited in Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest.
