Contemporary conceptual, theoretical artist, and futurist Cassondra—nom de arte Cat Atom—crafts revelations at reality's edge where theoretical physics meets artistic expression. Her thought-provoking abstractions perceive the poetic beauty in fundamental forces that govern our universe, embodying the invisible architecture of existence through resonant geometry and calculated color theory. She transforms quantum physics—the fundamental science at the very core of all modern technology—into visceral encounters with the infinite.
Aspiring to launch a pioneering art movement marking the centennial of quantum mechanics' 1925 discovery, Cat Atom seeks to address a critical gap in art history. Throughout history, significant art movements have emerged as reflections of their times—the industrial revolution essentially gave birth to modern art, as artists responded to monumental shifts in human experience. Yet despite quantum physics revolutionizing our understanding of reality and enabling the digital age, this profound paradigm shift remains without its artistic counterpart. Cat Atom envisions these parallel universes—scientific revolution and artistic expression—finally converging in a movement that gives visual language to the quantum foundation of our technological age.
Cat Atom's abstract explorations have received extraordinary recognition, most notably as a featured artist in LifeShips Luna Gallery, with her creation selected for the groundbreaking AstroLab FLIP Moon rover launching in November 2025. Her emerging practice in metal fabrication incorporates design engineering principles, utilizing CAD and AI technology to create sculptures inspired by biomorphic patterns and physics—merging technological tools with organic forms and scientific concepts. As an autodidact actively teaching herself mathematics and physics, she brings authentic scientific understanding to her creative process, building toward future innovative installations where scientific principles become tangible experiences.
With a distinguished educational background—including studies in Modern and Contemporary Art and Design at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, 14th-19th Century European Art History at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and Fine Arts at New Masters Academy—Cat Atom brings scholarly depth to her artistic practice. This formal training informs her unique ability to situate quantum-inspired work within art historical contexts while pushing boundaries into unexplored territory.
Her deep understanding of the art world stems from working alongside Kelly "Risk" Graval, an important figure in contemporary art history. Through art consulting with collectors, digital archiving and cataloging artworks, managing multi-million dollar inventory, and gallery operations, she gained intimate knowledge of the industry while building connections with leading contemporary artists. Now, after years behind the scenes mastering the business of art, Cat Atom is ready to unveil her visionary work to the world—bringing her unique perspective on quantum reality to a global audience, as the catalyst for her envisioned quantum-inspired movement.
Beyond aesthetics, Cat Atom's mission is deeply personal and humanitarian. She creates to celebrate and foster inquisitiveness, recognizing curiosity as the essential spark that drives both scientific discovery and artistic innovation. Her work aims to inspire the spectrum of humanity but particularly women in STEM fields, neurodivergent individuals, and children who have experienced trauma. Through her milestones, she conveys a powerful message: no matter the adversity, one can overcome anything with courage and belief. This conviction, born from her own journey, infuses her work with an authenticity and emotional resonance that transcends the purely intellectual exploration of scientific concepts.
