BRUCE GÓMEZ

Denver, Colorado

Bruce Gómez has been working in pastel full-time for the last 30 years and has been teaching workshops for the past fifteen. His artistic influences range from Paleolithic art to Alfred Sisley, Maxfield Parrish, Juan Gris, and Gustav Klimt. He considers himself fortunate to travel and paint in wonderful places like Telluride, Paris, Rome, and Moab. “I go out and look to capture that one unique and spectacular moment of life,” he says. Bruce was the recipient of the Artist’s Choice Award at the 2017 Celebration of Art.

Imagine the stunning silence of snow and clouds filling the vastest space.

I saw this slow dance of a storm breaking below me two decades ago and I’ve forever been wanting to capture this on paper.
