PAINTING, HE MADE A MUD BALL FROM HIS PASSIONS
RAMON GOMEZ CORNET 1/3 – Born in a prestigious family, he belonged to a generation, which with aestheticism renewed Argentine art. Moving between abstraction and figuration, he lived a creative trajectory between the boundaries of modern and classic. Painter, who is perceived as one of the forerunners of modern Argentine painting was born in Santiago del Estero, devoting himself to the artistic identification and extrinsication of the roots of the Latin American character. By observing eyes of children from northern Argentina and magnificent magnolias, you can breathe his artistic production. Figures he observed, as well as the things around them, he perceived and painted very emotional way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v2XN05IFEk
