About the Artwork:
“This piece stems from a period of purging… of letting go of regrets, of mourning what once was and what will never be, of remembering the voices that once roamed the halls of my mind and danced upon my ears…. those which are now quiet and deeply missed. When a chapter of life closes, a new one always makes its presence known. Yet, sometimes… in order to enter that new chapter, we must die within and purge what no longer serves us.” – Tania Pomales

(Artist Bio)
NJ based Puerto Rican artist Tania Pomales specializes in dark and surreal works created primarily in oils. As a nod to her colorful and bold heritage, Pomales incorporates bright color palettes into her art in juxtaposition with darker motifs, such as skulls and human anatomical references, to explore themes of life and death and the cyclical aspect of the human experience.The importance of mental health and deep self reflection are also fundamental themes in her body of work. Showing professionally in galleries since 2016, Pomales has been part of group exhibitions in Copro, The Dark Art Emporium, KEEP Contemporary, Cactus Gallery, and other prominent venues.
