Susy Gómez studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona and, after completing her training, held her first solo exhibition at the Norai gallery in her hometown in 1987. Six years later, in 1993, her personal exhibition held at the Miró Foundation in Barcelona caused great expectation. His work is characterized by a great technical versatility, which includes painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, video and installation. In 1995 she took part in the ARCO fair, achieving a success that led her to be included in important national and international group exhibitions, such as the Salón de los 16 of the same year. Since then she has held numerous personal exhibitions, both in Spanish cities and in Turin, Athens and Nice, where she showed her work at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. In 1999 he was awarded the Endesa Scholarship, and the following year the IVAM's Centre del Carmen dedicated his first retrospective to him. In his work can be found several proposals, which continue the tradition of postminimalism, and at the same time are linked to the most current aesthetics. His work is part of the following collections of national and international centers and entities: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid); Artium de Álava (Vitoria); Institut Valencià d'Art Modern (Valencia); Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma; Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga; Murugami Hirai Museum, (Tokyo); Col-lecció Testimoni, Fundació "la Caixa" (Barcelona); L'Oreal Collection; Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain-Nice, among others.
