David Kümin, alias Chromeo, was born in 1982 and grew up in Winterthur. Fascinated by murals and illegal graffiti as a child, the viewer became an actor: As a teenager, he grabbed a spray can, which marked his start as an artist. He completed a Master's degree in Fine Arts, Public Spheres and Major Art Teaching at the Lucerne Academy of Fine Arts. It is important to Chromeo that his works have a depth of content and not only have a decorative character. With his work, he wants to inspire the viewer to engage with the work.
