Miguel Gómez Losada

Spanish artist Miguel Gómez Losada sees painting as a timeless element and strives to retrieve the past through his work and memory. His period paintings are characterised by pastoral themes and feature pensive, intimist, and silent figures. Women play a crucial role as the personification of romanticism, in the sense of an age of self-contemplation in which it is vital to find oneself through hope or nostalgia, as do elements related to dance and drama. Family memories and the reliquary of objects and symbols are commonly seen in his oeuvre, as well as the revision of classic films from the mid-20th century. This catalogue is published on the occasion of an exhibition of his recent paintings.
