Gerardo Gomez creates emotional landscapes exploring memory, transcendence, mystery, and the integral relationship between the natural world and each of our own soul’s calling.

Gerardo with Velo (2026) in MFA Graduate Studio at UT of San Antonio

 The message I want to get across is more so the question “Who am I?” or “What are We?” through explosions of color,  raw vulnerability, dark subversive reality, Dionysian grandiosity, and unapologetic queer joy.  I collage images depicting sensationalized vignettes of my own lived experiences to pose themes of ontology, autonomy, incorporeality, and absurdity.
