Exhibition Overview

“Viewing an entire exhibition of Alberto's works leaves one with the feeling of an artist who has observed, laughed or cried, and ultimately cared enough about the human comedy to portray it in his highly personal renditions of human behavior and interaction.” -Mark Price, Chair of Department of Art, University of Central Florida

Painter Alberto Gomez began his artistic path in 1979, with subsequent visual arts studies both in his native home of Colombia and in Caracas, Venezuela. In addition to portraits and landscapes on canvas, this internationally acclaimed artist is also renowned for large-scale murals (often spanning 500 square feet and larger), which depict scenes ranging from ancient civilizations to the benchmarks of New Orleans’ culture.

Alberto has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and other countries, both in solo and group collections.

Key exhibits in the United States include:
“Laudable Latins Exhibition,” Ormond Memorial Museum of Art (2007)
“Orlando Latin American Film Festival,” DMAC. Orlando, Florida (2004)
Consulate General of Colombia. Miami, Florida (2003)
NASA, John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida (1999).

Included among his numerous awards are:
Individual Artist Professional Development Grant (2007)
The Artist’s Fellowship New York Grant
The Dr. Arthur Kimball Memorial, Florida Partners, Volunteer of the Year Award (2003)
Department of State-Partners of the Americas Grant (2001).

Mr. Gomez resides in Deltona, Florida, where he has lived for the past ten years.
