Andel Gomes

I am Andel Gomes, an artist who enjoys painting.

The basis of my artistic expression lies in realism. I have always been inspired by images from life, especially by strong, striking characters that in many ways reflect our time. In my art I often explore the issues of interaction between the natural world and humans; as part of nature, but often completely separated from it, or perceiving it only through the prism of technological progress. I am also very inspired by the aesthetics of animals and their closeness and synchronicity with nature. Often, I use references for my research in this direction.

My main tools are light and color, with which I convey the general mood, atmosphere. I also pay a lot of attention to detail in my paintings, as I believe that the ability to trace details allows the viewer to interact with the work much more deeply, each time finding something new in it and revealing hidden meanings. I work in acrylic painting techniques, which allow me, with the helps convey color, depth, texture, and work out volumes for my projects.

Painting allows me to work with the subconscious of the viewer, operating with images from life, but constructing with them my own unique aesthetic reality, combining realistic images with abstraction, minimalism and other expressive techniques that work on the meaning that I want to convey.
