astros by Elke Klein
ASTROS is a textile project by Elke Klein that seeks the organic fusion between the boundaries of art and fashion. Each piece is unique and carefully outlined around the artist’s specific conceptual and visual elements. Who not only creates the work of the print but also personally approves each of the garments to guarantee the consistency, conceptual and qualitative integrity of its artistic position.
Each garment has an eco passport that guarantees its manufacture under the highest sustainability standards, it is certified that all inks are ecological and everything is 100% made in Mexico.
Embracing the concept of wearable art, ASTROS goes beyond fashion; Each garment features a hand-printed fabric label from scraps, accompanied by a unique crystal or quartz representing the artist, and a distinctive red square sewn onto the back as a distinctive element.
Each piece is labeled with a brief description of the artwork and artist, an eco-passport, and a serial number on a card enclosed in a protective envelope, making these unique pieces available exclusively at art fairs throughout the world for art and fashion enthusiasts.

ARANTXA TAMARIT
VALENCIA (1973)
It all started when, working between my hands and creativity, passion arose—painting, giving shape to my ideas. I imagine flavors, looks, sensations, thoughts, and longings. My hands communicate all of this captured or understood. When I paint, time ceases to exist; my happiness comes to visit me. My work consists of oil paintings, acrylics, or watercolors. Ibiza, 2023.

ARIEL OROZCO
CUBA (1979)
His work draws from everyday experiences translated into actions, objects, drawings, paintings, and interventions. They result from the observation of his life and social events. Some daily rituals, like having a beer with friends or walking through the city, can evolve into a work of art. The choice of objects he works with is more of a random impulse than a formal investigation, later transforming their ordinary nature into a statement.

JAMES BONACHEA
CUBA (1977)
James Bonachea’s practice is characterized by its constant invitation to reconsider deeply rooted beliefs in cultural imagery, as well as everyday objects. This practice has led to the transformation of public and private spaces, along with organic materials and other elements, into seemingly contradictory settings and surfaces within the formal solutions of visual and pictorial discourse. Bonachea currently resides in Yucatán, Mexico.

VIOLETA GALERA
SPAIN
I am a Spanish painter whose earliest childhood memories involve illustrating drawings. Painting is my life. I spend my days in my studio, surrounded by a natural mountainous landscape on the island of Ibiza. I cannot imagine my existence without my brushes and hands stained with paint. I need to paint to survive. For me, the creative process is a sacred ritual. I enjoy working with acrylics, pencils, oils, and ink.
