Aron Kroes

Aron Kroes (1987) primarily focuses on painting, exploring the boundaries of figurative art. His approach to abstraction is intuitive, representing emotions, experiences, and technique without being constrained by convention. Each piece invites open interpretation, allowing the viewer to see the portrait as a mirror reflecting their own perspective.

Kroes’ paintings often possess a chaotic quality, from which unexpected beauty can emerge. While the foundational shapes of a portrait are always present, the abstraction he applies draws viewers into a world that balances expressive forms and a rich, dynamic color palette.

In his work, Aron navigates the intersection between figurative and abstract art, constantly probing the limits of the figurative. His central question is: how far can abstraction go before the human mind loses its connection to familiar, human forms?

Light, particularly its reflection, plays a pivotal role in his work. He frequently uses metallic and chrome colors to explore the interaction between light and surface. This use of synthetic spray paints and metallic tones draws influence from his background in graffiti and street art, a legacy he embraces with pride and carries forward into his current practice.
