KromaTik - La calma dentro del caos 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, references the use of color as an artistic act. As Kroma I prefer to remain anonymous.

Based in Barcelona, where from my studio and creative laboratory 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 hold a degree in Fine Arts, a master’s in communication and marketing focused on art, and a higher degree in plastic arts and design in textile art. I earned a teaching aptitude certificate where I combine my passion for painting (which I work at 90%) with teaching (10%). I particularly enjoy teaching in social projects, as I consider the importance of art in less privileged environments: “art can transform people’s mindset and people can improve the world.”

I enjoy teaching art, 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 at 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 award for poster design 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, the 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 such as the cosmos and the universe, science, and human and universal connections.

Although I come from a classic academic and figurative education from the University of Fine Arts, what I like is working with abstract art because it forces me to paint without paying too much attention to what appears on the canvas, accepting and taking advantage of the accident. It is a 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 fuel my imagination. Artists who have influenced my plastic language include Joan Miró, Hilma af Klint, Sonia Delaunay, and Kandinsky.

I enjoy creating connections with my clients; I believe it is how to close 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 around us.

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

The indicated measurements are for the canvas. When mounted on a frame, the dimensions will be smaller for installation.

The work is delivered unstretched (professional packaging, rolled in a tube).

The painting was created through free improvisation. It is hand-signed on the back. Includes certificate of authenticity.
