20th-21st Century Spanish

Gómez trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in Salamanca and later at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona and the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid. She received several scholarships, including one that allowed her to travel to Paris to study with Bruno Müller from 1980 to 1981, a research grant at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice in 1983 and another one at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome in 1991 and 1992.

In the 1980s, Gómez began to be regularly featured in major group shows of young up-and-coming painters, with her own personal iconography of highly evocative solitary and melancholic figures in bare landscapes. Her palette is dominated by warm tones and her drawing is rendered with smooth contours. Gómez often tends to the autobiographic. In 1993, she created a series of landscapes titled Agujeros de luz; in it, the cross-shaped dots, frequently identified as stars, possess great significance and are laden with a strong sense of lyricism.

She has taken part in group exhibitions in major art centres including, among others, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente.
