Carles Gomila seeks to paint works that are tender and yet disturbing, evocative full bodied and elegant. He loves painting the human figure based on the real human anatomy plus his own imagination and feels free to represent the human figure and redeem the values of classical art from a contemporary perspective.
In addition to the author painting, he dedicates a part of his work to how the paintings are prepared. For more than four years, he has been intensely dedicated to the experimentation and study of old techniques of oil painting, acquiring a habitual practice that is not often seen in our days; he prepares the supports of the canvases in an old world style, using only the best pigments, oils, balsams, resins and other raw materials. Gomila has been dedicated to historic authenticity in materials and techniques in his work, prepares his own oil paints and supports in a totally artisan form, even all the used materials are of superb quality and guaranteed to survive well into history. Thus, the works receive greater depths of color, wealth of shades and an excellent conservation.
