Life Events

Ángeles M. Pomata

I was born in Cartagena in 1972, although before my first birthday my family moved to Madrid, where I was brought up, and there I was also trained as a clinical psychologist and practiced as such for more than a decade.

When I decided to leave the profession, painting, an activity I’ve started as a hobby while writing my first book became with time my profession.

I do not belong to any specific school, and I didn’t have tutors or teachers: my training is completely self-taught. Everything I know about painting I have learned it of constant trial and error.

I have dedicated myself above all to the study of color and nature. The theme of my paintings is very broad, and so is the range of techniques I use. I paint landscape, abstract and portraiture, mainly in oil.

Some of my works have been selected to appear in the magazine Women in Art 278, from Florida or in the digital art gallery Go For Art, of Basel, among others, and they are part of private collections in Europe, Australia, and the US.

I live and work by the sea in Níjar, within the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
