Paco Pomet: Surrealism Meets Historical Imagery
June 26, 2023 in Arts & Culture by Charlotte Sinclair
Paco Pomet is a Spanish artist based in Granada, Spain, and has showcased his work in art galleries across Spain, the USA, and Denmark.
He creates surrealistic oil paintings, deriving inspiration from old photographs and historical images. Pomet utilizes a monochrome base and selectively incorporates color to emphasize the focal point of the image and to enhance the vintage effect. He integrates contemporary narratives and aesthetics from comics, show business, cinema, and animation into his compositions.
A recurring theme in Pomet's work is a post-apocalyptic realm where humans are forced to coexist with radioactive waste leading to various mutations. His works represent a unique blend of the past and the future, blending historical elements with modern twists and apocalyptic imagery.
