BIOGRAPHY |
Born in 1969 in Guadalajara, Nicolas Gomez is a self-taught artist. He basically started painting in 1996, when he had his first show in Tlaquepaque. He later studied under master painter Hilario Alvarez, a portrait painter who guided Nicolas to strive for perfection, something obvious in his detailed paintings.
Gomez painted exclusively for more than 4 years for the Riu Hotel chain of Mexico, creating works for the lobbies as well as their many hotel rooms. Nick, as he is fondly called by friends, has painted more than 50 murals, most for the Italiannis Restaurant chain of Mexico. He has owned his own studio for more than 20 years, where his daughter Cindy is now his top protégé, assisting him on many of his larger projects.
There is nothing he can't paint, as is evident in his body of works. From still life's of mandarins, squash, and other fruits and vegetables that come alive on the canvas, to a stampede of horses. From a portrait of a beautiful little girl or old lady, to a landscape or an old building. In September 2012, he participated in a show titled "Aromas on the Land" during the Patriotic Festivities. Nick's works are in collections in the US, Canada, South America, as well as in many private homes and hotels in Mexico.
