KromaTik - El gallo, la luna y las estrellas XL

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, from my studio and creative laboratory I have been developing 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, I have a master’s in communication and marketing focused on art, and a higher grade in textile arts. I earned the Pedagogical Aptitude Certificate, where I combine my passion for painting—which I work on 90%—with teaching, 10%. I especially enjoy teaching in social work settings, as 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 relate to 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 also shown 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’ of 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 prize 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 topics such as the cosmos and the universe, science, and human and universal connections interest me greatly.

Although I come from a traditional 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, embracing and taking advantage of accidents. It is gestural and intuitive painting that connects with my most primitive and authentic self. I tend to work in series; it helps me organize emotions and feelings.

I am inspired by films like "Contact" or "Interstellar" and they directly influence my painting with their aesthetics and their vision of dystopian futures that fuel my imagination. Artists such as Joan Miró, Hilma af Klint, Sonia Delaunay, and Kandinsky have also influenced my plastic language.

I like to create connections with my clients; I believe it is the way to close the circle between artist and collector, where the energy of the collective transforms 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.
