Borja Colom (b. 1998, Madrid) is an architect and painter whose practice is rooted in a deep inquiry into spatial perception, emotional resonance, and the metaphysical nature of thresholds. Educated at IE School of Architecture and Design in Madrid, Colom's work draws upon the rigor and structure of architectural thinking while embracing an intuitive, material-driven approach to image-making.
His compositions—often architectural in spirit yet resistant to fixed categorization—unfold as contemplative environments where color, light, and geometry coalesce. Doors, voids, spheres, and planes recur across his canvases, not as fixed symbols, but as instruments of orientation and reflection. Each work invites viewers into a liminal terrain where the built and the imagined converge.
Colom was selected for the Uncool Artist Residency in 2023–24, where he further developed his exploration of pictorial space as both physical encounter and psychological landscape. Through painting, drawing, and spatial installation, his practice continues to navigate the delicate boundary between observation and immersion—between the world as we build it and the world as we feel it.
