Overview
Paloma Gámez
A relentless journey through colour
An artist whose work is an incessant journey through colour, exploring diverse techniques and formats with an insatiable curiosity. Her work becomes a multi-faceted visual narrative, where each work intertwines with the others through an omnipresent leitmotif: colour. Since her first steps in painting, Paloma has transcended the limits of this medium to venture into sculpture and installation, in a constant creative back-and-forth.

Paloma immerses herself completely in space, appropriating it to bring to life sensory experiences that challenge the viewer's perception. Each piece, from the warmth of her paintings to the three-dimensionality of her sculptures and installations, is an invitation to explore the infinite possibilities of colour and its interaction with the environment.

With a career marked by experimentation and the constant search for new creative horizons, Paloma has left an indelible mark on the art world, inspiring others to dare to cross borders and discover the magic that lies in the infinite palette of colour.
