About

Born and raised in the vibrant country of Guatemala, CRODAS moved to Los Angeles, CA at the age of 18 to pursue a career in graphic design and photography. After refining his skills in these fields for several years, his curiosity led him to discover the underground EDM scene in Los Angeles, brimming with creative minds and free spirits. It was during this time that he began exploring painting as a means to express himself authentically, finding a sense of fulfillment that had been lacking in his graphic design career.

In 2017, after attending The Oregon Eclipse Gathering, CRODAS made the decision to fully commit to his newfound artistic passion and integrate it into his lifestyle. Today, he continues to immerse himself in the realms of creativity, continuously pushing the boundaries of his art. By intertwining elements of surrealism and imaginative realism, CRODAS creates art pieces that defy conventional boundaries, aiming to inspire and intrigue his audience with each painting.

He has showcased his work at major galleries and festivals throughout California and remains an active participant in the vibrant and diverse artistic community.

Artist Statement:

I create art to explore and understand the human experience. Each piece I craft takes me on a joyful journey, a feeling I always come back to. My paintings are open to interpretation, and by bending the lines of reality and conventional life, I aim to spark curiosity and invite viewers to explore creativity, dreams, the unknown, and various emotions.
