KromaTik - Y tú, ¿me ves? 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, 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 Fine Arts degree, I hold a master’s in communication and marketing focused on art, and a Higher Degree in Plastic Arts and Textile Design. I obtained the teaching aptitude certificate where I combine my passion for painting, which I work at 90%, with teaching at 10%. I especially enjoy teaching in social-oriented 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 connect 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 explore street 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 prize 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 all over 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 like the cosmos and the universe, science, and human and universal connections greatly interest me.

Although I come from a classical and figurative academic education at the University of Fine Arts, what I enjoy is working with abstract art because it forces me to paint without paying much attention to what emerges on the canvas, accepting and leveraging accident. It is gestural and intuitive painting that connects with my most primitive and authentic self. I usually work in series; it helps me organize emotions and feelings.

Films like "Contact" or "Interstellar" inspire me and directly influence my painting with their aesthetics and their vision of dystopian futures that spark my imagination. I have also been influenced in my plastic language by artists such as Joan Miró, Hilma af Klint, Sonia Delaunay, and Kandinsky.

I like to create connections with my clients; I believe this is how the circle between artist and collector closes, 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 all that surrounds us.
