Ana Gómez de León studied art at CATS Art School in Cambridge, England where she discovered photography was one of her passions, which led her to formally study this discipline at Lesley University in Boston, Massachussets. In her work, she plays with the idea of anonymity as an expression of urban cultura, as a mask that hides human emotion. This idea in conjunction with her aesthetic sensibility, results in a humanised and poetic environment.

His painting tends towards abstraction and his sculptural work to labyrinthine models that rethink the concept of “city".

Faces that keep us company, eyes that return our gaze, gestures that stay with us in their frankness or subtlety.
