SOPHIA CROMATICA

Sophia Cromatica Born in Rome and adopted by Venice, a contemporary ancient soul, from her earliest artistic beginnings, her compositions have explored the depths of metamorphosis. Her paintings are visual mythologies. In her early artistic production, the influence of mosaic with its chromatic potentials leads to a reiteration of the square in its sublime expressive power. Small and large paper tapestries transform into angelic figures, manifestations of the sacred, cosmogonies inspired by the four elements. Thanks to her studies in architecture and cinema, she collaborates with musicians, actors, designers, and choreographers, creating sculptural scenographies and video installations. She is the only artist selected to design and create the ceremonial robe for the Zen Master of the Buddhist Temple in Fidenza. The cross-pollination between various languages and media, where colour is the absolute protagonist, gives rise to total installations where the viewer becomes an integral part of the work, enveloped and engaged in a meta-narrative of colour and light. The arabesque is the common thread of possible timeless crossings.In her ethereal spaces of colour, one ascends to another dimension, a spiritual body and a celestial land, “in the world but not of the world.”

ATELIER CROMATICO – International platform for art, culture, and colour research. Experimental lab for conscious chromatic exploration

Founded in Madrid in 2002 and led by the Italian architect and artist Claudia Bonollo, Atelier Cromatico is an international organization and a cultural platform for research. It is a hub for cultural promotion, originally established as a laboratory for a new artistic landscape, and has since become a meeting point for artists, architects, art lovers, historians, philosophers, psychologists, and more.

The activities are structured around workshops, themed dinners, creative nights, masterclasses, seminars, exhibitions, video screenings, all guided by two fundamental criteria: the belief that research should be approached in a multidisciplinary manner, and the importance placed on experimentation, transforming each participant in our initiatives—whether a teacher, student, or visitor— into a researcher.

It has also become a private gallery that opened its doors during the Madrid Design Festival, Open House and Cruza Carabanchel.
