JO WU

Born in Austria in 1971, JOWU transformed his life into a work of art. After restoring an ancient castle, he found refuge and truth in painting. A self-taught artist with a solid background in realism, he developed Chromanarrativism: a style born of isolation, where the order of the Bauhaus merges with the intensity of Neo-expressionism, amplified by the narrative of color.

International MBA from IMC Krems (Austria) with studies in New York, speaks German, English and Spanish.
From Spain, JOWU paints the invisible: the border between reason and emotion, between destruction and rebirth.

Chromanarrativism is a pictorial practice in which color functions as a carrier of states, not as a decorative element. The works explore systems under tension, where color can intensify, fragment, or disappear. The essential element is not color itself, but its function within an unstable structure.
