Ángeles M. Pomata
I came to the oil painting as a visitor and settled. What lies between is a passion for the materials involved in the creative process and excitement for the expressive possibilities of the painting.
I came to art free of preconceptions and still learning without them, from realistic technique to simplicity, concept, and color. As time passed, my portfolio grew more colorful and less attached to the existing.
Former clinical psychologist, I've known harshness and hideousness, and consciously avoid both in my work to focus on beauty, kindness, and good. Knowing the healing power of beauty on a frail soul, and even more, on a strong one, I try to add my bit.
I approach every piece as a new attempt to solve a teaser and capture an idea. When I perceive a certain harmony on it, then I’m done.
In a word, I aim to capture reality as I see it, always towards what it is, with its own field of possibilities and hopes, with its magic, and share it with the viewer.
I do not belong to any specific school, and I didn’t have tutors or teachers: my training is completely self-taught. Everything I know about the painting I have learned through the observation of other painters, of some books, and, above all, of constant trial and error.
As a painter, I have dedicated myself above all to the study of color and nature. The theme of my paintings is very broad, and so is the range of techniques I use. My subjects range from landscape painting to abstract painting, including portraiture, mainly in oil, although in recent years I have also begun to include watercolor in my repertoire.
Some of my works have been selected to appear in the magazine Women in Art 278, from Florida, in April of 2017, or in the digital art gallery Go For Art, of Basel, among others, and they are part of private collections in Europe, the UK, Singapore, Australia, and the United States.
I am currently based in Níjar, within the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
