Tania Pomales

BIO

NJ based Puerto Rican artist Tania Pomales specializes in dark and surreal works created primarily in oils. As a nod to her colorful and bold heritage, Pomales incorporates bright color palettes into her art in juxtaposition with darker motifs, such as skulls and human anatomical references, to explore themes of life and death and the cyclical aspect of the human experience.The importance of mental health and deep self reflection are also fundamental themes in her body of work. Showing professionally in galleries since 2016, Pomales has been part of group exhibitions in Copro, The Dark Art Emporium, KEEP Contemporary, Cactus Gallery, and other prominent venues.

ARTIST STATEMENT

The world can often feel like a very dark, confusing, and overwhelming place. Too often we go through the motions of the everyday hustle and bustle without taking time to self reflect and look through that darkness to see that there is beauty, truth, and profound healing if only we take that leap of faith. My work is about taking that leap every day, learning to see the beauty in the chaos, and helping others see it, too.
