Blue colours Painting

My name is Emma Gómara and I am from Zaragoza, Spain. Traveling is one of my passions, painting is the other one. Using acrylics, I am working in two collections. One is the result of hours and hours snorkeling around the world. Friends have been my models, there are a lot of good experiences in these paintings under the water. Blues and greens are very important but the main role is for the human figure: how the light is reflected in the skin, how the figure is changed by optical effects under water…I use mainly acrylics with quick and wide brushstrokes to get overlaps and transparencies to this way recreate the effects of water. The other collections comes from my observation of the individuals in my city, in Tokyo, in Berlin, in Los Angeles…I take pictures of the people around wherever I am and then use those pics to show them on canvas. Trying to focus on the character, most of the times backgrounds are blurred. Since these people usually are tourist enjoying their vacation time, the is always a good mood transmitted from my paintings.
