acromyx

I am Acromyx, a Chilean artist. I devote myself to painting without confining myself to any particular style; I simply create and express my inner world on any medium, and each piece becomes part of a wider whole. I was born in a Latin American country, where the sounds and the intensity of the colours leave a lasting impression, where distances are infinite and where people are constantly changing, just like my work.

My works are like CD or cassette covers from the 90s – I mean, a single band could have many different covers throughout their career, and these would differ depending on the era, their style or whatever… well, it’s the same with my works: many different pieces under a single identity.

I apply it to all formats and media, and, drawing inspiration from a story that emerges from within me, I create a style that speaks for itself. Most of the time, I set myself the challenge of connecting with the viewer, so that the work finds its fulfillment in the person who contemplates it.

is uniformity and conformity, and the lack of stories behind art or artists—those who do everything but say nothing, who see everything but react to nothing.

Challenge, question, make some noise, build a community: if you’re going to look in the mirror all the time, let it be to learn how to express yourself and create things that are worthwhile for you and for everyone else.
