My name is Adrià Tormo and I'm a digital artist working at the intersection of geometric abstraction and the absurd.
Based in Valencia, Spain, my practice revolves around bold shapes, vivid colors, and a commitment to visual clarity: compositions that explore tension, playfulness, and meaning through structure. Drawing from avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Constructivism, I aim to evolve these references into something adaptive that can be technical when the work demands it and free and chaotic when I need to experiment, balancing minimalism and horror vacui in a deliberate resistance to categorization.
My background is in graphic design, which gave me the structural foundation I still rely on: grids, hierarchy, spacing, color theory... But I'm a strong believer in self-learning as a lifelong discipline. Curiosity has taught me more than any formal program could, constantly pushing me to pick up new tools, techniques, and ways of seeing.
I've been active in the Web3 art space since 2021, both creating and collecting. It's given me a space to build, share, and refine my work alongside supporters and artists I admire.
For me, the absurd is a core principle of my practice. I'm not looking for meaning at first, but rather experimenting without a predetermined outcome, letting each piece find its own direction as it takes shape and welcoming whatever odd characters or themes decide to show up along the way.
Right now, my focus is on pushing this visual language further and seeing where it wants to go next.

“Working with Tormius was great! I commissioned 55 pieces for a deck of cards and he came up with so much creative material so quickly. He was very flexible and accommodating with my ideas while also suggesting great ones of his own to elevate the project. I'm forever a fan of him and his unique art!”

“Tormius is one of the emerging artists I'm most excited about. His integrity, dedication, talent, and spirit of innovation are an inspiration and I'm proud to be his collector.”

“Tormius's work and dedication to his craft is truly admirable. While being incredibly skilled in his craft, he also brings a high level of knowledge when it comes to design and UI/UX.”

“Tormius's celestial art is so intricate that even his geometric shapes have begun to orbit around each other.”

“Seeing Tormius' art for the first time was an instant 'wow' moment, and each visit to their art allows for the full immersion into their vibrant, complex, overlapping worlds within worlds. These colourful rhythmic vector landscapes may look frenetic, but with Tormius' strong command of colour, attention to detail and compositional grace, are anything but. Psychedelia, Escher, animation, Kandinsky, Gorky, Cecily Brown, De Kooning — subtle shades of them all can be found in this art, but with Tormius' one-of-a-kind modern stamp.”
Jack Kaido

“Tormius was one of the first artists I collected. His unique style really stood out to me and after connecting on a personal level I could see how hard working and dedicated he is. When I received the physical gift package from collecting his piece I was very impressed and I often wear the t-shirt he gifted.”
Kenshiro
Collector
“Tormius has always stood out in web3 as an artist with their distinctive sharp shapes and color choices. It has always been inspiring to see the works and the utilization of these colors and shapes, especially as an artist focused on a similar aesthetic.”
