Curatorial analysis
Curatorial analysis
A swarm of yellow and violet dabs vibrates over a pale turquoise atmosphere, suspended in continuous oscillation between botanical landscape and pure dispersion. The large-format surface offers no single focal point; the eye is compelled to navigate an open field where the accumulation of compact gestures evokes wildflowers, windblown petals, or the fleeting flutter of insects.
Beneath this chromatic constellation, the ground reveals a grid of almost transparent vertical washes and scrapings. These incisions and light drags of matter function like spectral stems or traces of rain, introducing a subtle pulse of gravity against the weightlessness of the marks. The purple touches, dense and laden with pigment around their edges, stand in direct contrast to the luminous yellows, which seem to catch light from within. Gómez employs a rhythmic alternation that avoids monotony: the clusters condense in certain areas only to immediately disperse into clearings where the light blue ground breathes.
The title, Alrededor del Cuerpo (Around the Body), suggests an evocative reading of absence and presence. There is no explicit anatomy on the canvas; rather, the body manifests through its periphery, like a space that has been vacated or that dissolves into its own sensory environment. The density of the paint constructs a tactile atmosphere or sensory aura, where the scale of the canvas (one hundred and ten by one hundred and forty centimeters) envelops the viewer in a vibrating perimeter. The pictorial experience does not depict a recognizable figure, but rather the energetic commotion and temperature of the air that surrounds it.
