About Me
At the age of 14, while studying art in secondary school, my interest in art was born. But it was not until I began my studies as a photographer that I turned my passion for art into a career. My name is Najib Madrid Flores and I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1954.
My passion for photography originates from my fascination with cinematography. The allure of capturing still images, rather than sequential motion, inspired me to explore and deepen my technical and artistic understanding of photography itself. From that point, my journey into the art progressed effortlessly.
My creative process unfolds on a flat, two-dimensional plane defined by length and width. Departing from traditional methods, I begin by using a computer to craft my designs digitally. I employ geometric shapes to recreate images from everyday life or my imagination. Once completed, I transfer these digital creations onto a tangible medium, such as fine art paper. I think that my work could be categorized as Figurative Art, though it may also encompass different artistic concepts.
As with any artistic journey, there will always be variables—some welcome, others unforeseen. What truly matters is the ability to create freely, without limitations or conceptual constraints. Throughout the creative process, inevitable variations emerge, shaping and ultimately defining the final outcome.
Graduated in 1978 from Brooks Institute School of Photography Art & Science as a Professional Photographer, specializing in Illustrative Photography & Color Technology.
Working since 1979 true 2000 in Caracas Venezuela as a freelancer Photographer for different Advertising agencies, Company´s and Institutions. From 2001 true 2019 working as General Manager and Owner of QuickPhoto Enterprise C.A., group of Photography Color Lab in the city of Maracaibo Venezuela. Since1980 to the present days experimenting with different photography techniques, using analogs and digital images, applying fractal and texture patterns and combining them to create artistic concepts. Influenced by artistic currents such as Cubism, Surrealism, Figurative, Abstract and Landscape.
In 1991 participated in the III Salón de la Joven Fotografía at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sofia Imber in Caracas Venezuela, in the year 2000 in the I Salón de la Fotografía Digital en el Centro de Fotografía Conac en Caracas Venezuela, in the 2024 at the Open Art event at the Art Number 23 Gallery Prague, in the Vienna Art Summer Exhibition at the City Gallery Vienna, in the ArtBox.Project Zürich 6.0 at the SWISSARTEXPO Zürich Switzerland, in the ArtBox exhibition Art Prize at the Thomson Gallery Zug/ Switzerland, in the ArtBox.Project Palma 2.0, at the Casa del Arte Gallery Palma de Mayorca Spain, in the Musa International Art, Pop-Up Art Boutique Vienna at the Gallery Frank
At the present days dedicated to my passion Digital Art in the city of Vienna.
" With a distinctive geometric and minimalist figurative style, occupies a space in the contemporary art market that is both visually accessible and conceptually resonant."
My favourite pieces is Maskerade
The artist has created a highly recognizable and consistent style. The clean lines, flat color planes, and geometric composition suggest influences from Cubism (e.g., Picasso, Gris) and early Modernist poster design, but the artist manages to make it feel current and personal.
The face is abstracted to the point of ambiguity, yet the essence of expression and elegance remains. This tension between abstraction and emotion is powerful.
I think that your visual language is already strong — the clean geometry, color blocking, and stylized figures are impactful. What will elevate your portfolio further is intentional cohesion across works, anchored by a clear conceptual thread or emotional story. This doesn’t mean over-explaining — rather, think of your series like visual poetry: each piece standalone, but more powerful together.
Congrats!
