La beauté de la mer du Japon (2023) Digital Arts by Frédéric Font (Chroma)

My name is Chroma and my story is one of unexpected transformation. Born in 1988 in the suburbs of Paris, I grew up far from the art world. For nearly fifteen years, I served in the national police, a rigid and often painful world. Then, in 2015, during the Bataclan attacks, my life was turned upside down. I was there that night. The scenes of chaos, terror, broken lives... These images are etched in me, leaving an indelible mark.

After this event, I sank for three long years. I lost myself, overwhelmed by nightmares and a feeling of emptiness. It was in the heart of this despair that I discovered art, an unexpected refuge. At first, my creations were dark, chaotic, reflecting the pain I carried within me. I experimented, failed, but art became a way to exorcise my demons.

One day, I discovered the Xpen Artist Pro graphics tablet and the Krita software, and it changed the way I create. Digital technology gave me a new freedom, an infinite palette of possibilities. Little by little, I learned to channel my emotions through my works, transforming my wounds into colors and shapes.

In 2020, I decided to share my work with the public. It was like a rebirth. My creations, which were once my personal outlet, found their place on the international stage. Today, they travel much more than I do, from New York to Hong Kong, from Paris to Dubai. My art is exhibited on four continents, and knowing that my works resonate with people from different cultures is a huge source of pride.

But success is not what motivates me. What matters to me is living my passion to the fullest. After leaving the police, I devoted myself entirely to art. I do not seek recognition. My only desire is to continue creating, exploring, touching people through my works.

The name Chroma is not a simple pseudonym. It means "color", and for me, color symbolizes the light after the darkness. It represents my redemption, my rebirth. Each shade in my creations tells a part of my story, my scars, but also my hope. Color is what saved me, it is the language through which I express what words cannot say.

I do not aim for glory, just to live in this universe where art is my life. If my works provoke an emotion, a reflection, then my goal is achieved. Chroma is the story of a man who found the light in the middle of the darkness, and who today shares this light with the world.
