Chroma

My name is Salomée (pronounced Sal-o-may) and my artist name is Chroma. My roots are Peruvian and Algerian. My first language is French. My home country is Switzerland. I’m a multi-layered woman, an immigrant, an artist, a fighter, a survivor, I am here to take up space. Growing up I never saw artists like me that inspired me to become one myself, I believed an immigrant like me could never choose passion over profit. I will make it my mission to make the younger generation see the power in art and design.

I don’t see myself as an activist but rather as a creative doing the work that is essential to do right now. My works all have one thing in common; to take up space unapologetically through the lens of social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice.
