Salvador Gomez is an accomplished and well-known portrait artist from Spain. He works from photographs of his subjects to create realistic, but at the same time highly stylized, colorful collage-like images of great artistic impact. His work is both unique and powerful. He graduated from the Miguel Hernandez University in Elche, Spain and was a Professor of Fine Art at its Altea Fine Arts School. He now lives in Alicante, Spain.
