KromaTik - La presencia XXL

I am a visual artist based in Spain and KromaTiK is my alter ego.
The name KromaTik, or Kroma, as my friends usually call me, refers to the use of color as an artistic act. As Kroma I prefer to remain anonymous.

Based in Barcelona, where from my studio and creative lab I develop my most personal work, projects and collaborations with brands for over 20 years. I have worked for brands such as Cervezas Alhambra, TotCor, Raima, Diputación de Barcelona, Grup ATRA, Sr. Martín and Therapyside among others.

I have a degree in Fine Arts, I have a master's in communication and marketing focused on art, and a Higher Degree in Plastic Arts and Design in textile art. I earned the Pedagogical Aptitude Certificate where I combine my passion for painting (90%) with teaching (10%), I especially enjoy it in social work contexts, since I consider the importance of art in less privileged environments: "art can transform people's mindset and it is people who can improve the world".
I enjoy art education, also because it forces me to leave the studio and engage with people, to create real connections and reflect them in my pictorial work.

I have exhibited in galleries such as: Ola Gallery in Barcelona and La Panartería, specialized in urban and contemporary art in Madrid. Also in Creatitis Gallery in Madrid and Casa Panot in Barcelona. I have exhibited in Berlin at BcmA Contemporary Art Laboratory. My work has also been part of the exhibition at the National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts ‘González Martí’ in Valencia.

I experiment with urban art, installation, and mural painting. I have created several large-format walls in Madrid and Barcelona.

I have participated in numerous urban art festivals such as Pintamalasaña and CALLE in Madrid, winning the poster design award in 2024. I have also participated in CI Urban Fest in Madrid and FemFabrik in Barcelona.
I have received various mentions and my collectors are around the world: France, Belgium, Spain, United States, Portugal and Germany.

Before studying Fine Arts, I came from the world of mathematics and physics, so I am very interested in topics like the cosmos and the universe, science and human and universal connections.

Although I come from a classical and figurative academic education from the University of Fine Arts, what I like is to work with abstract art because it forces me to paint without paying too much attention to what appears on the canvas, embracing and taking advantage of accident. It is gestural and intuitive painting that connects with my most primal and authentic self. I tend to work in series; it helps me organize emotions and feelings.

Movies that inspire me include "Contact" or "Interstellar" and they directly influence my painting with their aesthetics and their vision of dystopian futures that spark my imagination. Artists who have also influenced my plastic language include Joan Miró, Hilma af Klint, Sonia Delaunay or Kandinsky.

I like to create connections with my clients; I believe it is the way to complete the circle between artist and collector, where the energy of the collective is transformed and gives meaning to the act of creation.

This work explores human and universal connections through the dance of brushstrokes, textures and colors, creating a vital flow. The Dialogue of Humanity with Nature manifests in a deep connection, harmony and cosmic chaos between the human being and everything that surrounds us.

Technique: Mixed media: acrylic, spray, waxes. There are no prints.

The indicated dimensions refer to the canvas. Mounted on a frame, the overall measurements will be smaller for installation.
