Ángel Toren

The art defined

Ángel Toren (Murcia, 1992) is a visual artist who merges digital aesthetics with architecture and painting. His career began in urban art and graffiti in 2007, exploring public space intervention as a form of dialogue with the environment. With a background in graphic design, his work is characterized by geometric precision, overlapping planes, and the use of vibrant gradient colors.

His art exists at the intersection of the physical and the digital, employing compositions that evoke visual glitches, three-dimensional structures, and repetitive patterns. Inspired by Brutalist architecture, digital interfaces, and typography, Toren transforms static surfaces into dynamic spaces where light, color, and perspective create depth and movement.

Throughout his artistic evolution, he has expanded his practice from large-scale murals to studio pieces that combine mixed techniques, integrating volumes, acrylic glass, and acrylic paint. While his work maintains a connection to the language of urban art, he reinterprets it through a precise and calculated aesthetic, challenging the viewer’s perception and exploring new forms of interaction between art and architectural space.

Inspired by Warhol

My connection with Andy Warhol arises from the way we both explore the perception of art in relation to its environment. Warhol transformed everyday objects into cultural icons, and I, through my own visual language, reinterpret architectural structures and digital elements to challenge the perception of space and form.

Ángel Toren The Other Half

This design extends the representation of the Absolut Vodka bottle depicted by Warhol, maintaining the essence of controlled color use and the focus on everyday objects (just as Warhol once did with iconic brands that endure to this day). It establishes a parallel continuation of Warhol’s visual work, integrating the contemporary with classic pop art.

“I have created a new dimension with digital and geometric elements that interact with new technologies, showcasing the evolution of art through digital media and synchronizing a completely different style with Warhol’s classic approach.”

The Other Half introduces a distinctive and urban visual language, making it clear that artistic legacy can be transformed and adapted to new eras.
