Aproximeaz

Aproximeaz is a Spanish‑speaking creative collective founded in 2014 in Madrid. The group was originally established by a group of designers and musicians who shared an interest in blending traditional artistic techniques with contemporary digital media. Their name, derived from the word "aproximar" (to bring close), reflects the collective’s mission to draw closer connections between visual art, music, and community culture.

Throughout its history, Aproximeaz has produced a series of interdisciplinary projects. In 2016 the collective presented the exhibition “Punto y Coma” at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, which combined multimedia installations with live performances. That same year it released its first studio album, a blend of electronic music and flamenco influences, which received critical acclaim for its innovative soundscapes. In 2018 the organization expanded its activities to include workshops held in public schools, focusing on digital literacy and creative expression for youth.

The collective’s work frequently explores environmental themes. Its 2020 campaign “Resonancia Verde” coincided with the International Year of Forests and involved community-driven murals that highlighted local ecosystems. Although the collective operates primarily in Spanish, it has collaborated with artists from the United States, Italy, and Brazil, broadening its international profile.

Aproximeaz’s activities are supported by a combination of private sponsorships and public cultural grants. The organization continues to function as a non‑profit, relying on voluntary membership and community fundraising to sustain its projects.
