Florit
Óscar Florit is an artist, interior designer, and gallerist born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in 1977. He studied industrial design between 1999 and 2002 at the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de les Illes Balears in Palma. Between 2007 and 2010, he exhibited in various galleries across Mallorca, Barcelona, and Valencia. His first solo exhibition was Soy de Plástico (2008) at Galería Fran Reus in Palma, when he was still an emerging artist. That same year, he also took part in the group exhibition Keep off the Grass (2008), also at Galería Fran Reus.
The following year, he participated in the exhibition Darwin al segle XXI: Art i evolució at Casal Son Tugores in Alaró, Mallorca, held in the context of the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth. Finally, in 2010, he presented his last solo exhibition, Felicidad Canalla, at Centro Cultural Andratx.
In 2012, Florit founded L21 Gallery (now Proyecto Reme), a space dedicated to representing emerging Spanish artists and exploring new exhibition formats. A notable example of this approach was his project The Apartment, awarded at ARCO 2015, which involved transforming the gallery into a domestic space.
After a 12-year hiatus from exhibiting his own work, Florit returns to the art world with a renewed perspective and, for the first time, outside Spain. His upcoming project with Galería ENLACE in Lima promises to be an introspective journey that merges his personal and professional evolution. Over the years, Florit has developed a deeper understanding of his artistic practice, influenced by his experience managing galleries and his close engagement with a wide range of artworks and artists.
His distinctive style is characterized by the creation of circular, semi-spherical, and rounded square forms inspired by stones shaped over time by the sea. These shapes, which he often considers self-portraits, reflect both his personal and artistic evolution. Florit works with mixed techniques, combining spray paint and acrylic to achieve fast, dynamic compositions that capture the essence of the moment.
