KromaTik - La noche despejada (homenaje a Miró) 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 stay 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 Bachelor’s 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 Certificate of Teaching Aptitude, where I combine my passion for painting (which I work at 90%) with teaching (about 10%), I especially enjoy it in social/community contexts, since I believe in the importance of art in less privileged environments: "art can transform people’s mindsets and it is people who 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 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 interest me greatly.

Although I come from a classical, figurative academic education at the University of Fine Arts, what I enjoy is working with abstract art because it compels me to paint without paying too much attention to what emerges on the canvas, embracing and taking advantage of accident. 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.

Movies like "Contact" or "Interstellar" inspire me and 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 enjoy creating connections with my clients, I think it is the way 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 as a deep connection, harmony, and cosmic chaos between the human being and everything that surrounds us.
