Interested in capturing the human body, in this work the author proposes a face with expressionist features and finish, with a mythical conception based on prehistoric models, simplifying the features and modulating the anatomy.

Trained at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, in Barcelona, Tomás Gómez has held personal exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. He has taken part in the group exhibitions "The Shirt Show", held at the Kowa-Kato Gallery in Zushi, Japan, in 1982, and "Col-leccionistes d'Art a Catalunya", at the Palau de la Virreina in Barcelona in 1989. He held his first solo exhibition at the René Métras gallery in Barcelona in 1984, and later at the Palacio de la Merced in Cordoba (1986), the Yerba gallery in Murcia (1987) and the Carles Taché gallery in Barcelona (1989), among others. The work of Tomás Gómez starts from the expressionism of his early years to evolve towards a figurative language with marked abstract connotations. He is currently represented in various private collections.
