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 where from my studio and creative lab 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 degree in plastic arts and design in textile art. I earned the teaching aptitude certificate where I combine my passion for painting (90%) with teaching (10%), especially 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 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, specializing in urban and contemporary art in Madrid. Also at Creatitis Gallery, in Madrid and Casa Panot in Barcelona. I have also exhibited in Berlin at BcmA contemporary art laboratory. My work has also been part of the exhibition at the National Museum of Ceramics and Suntuary Arts ‘González Martí’ in Valencia.

I experiment with 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 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, United States, Portugal and Germany.

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

Although I come from a classical and figurative academic training at 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 the accident. It is gestural and intuitive painting that connects with my most primal and authentic self. I usually work in series; it helps me organize emotions and feelings.

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

I enjoy creating connections with my clients; I believe this is how 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 is manifested in a deep connection, harmony and cosmic chaos between the human being and everything that surrounds us.
