Gonzaga Gomez-Cortazar Romero

Gonzaga Gómez-Cortázar Romero (b. Bilbao, 1985) is an artist based in New York City whose practice focuses on the ephemerality of the environment and its connection to the passage of time. His work highlights our world’s transient nature and presents the familiar as unique and transcendent. He examines details and features of the landscape as a means to honor and restore our innate and intimate connection with Earth and its elements. Video and photography are the building blocks in his art practice, which over the years has expanded towards other disciplines including installation and performance. Gonzaga’s works have been exhibited in numerous galleries and festivals worldwide. Recently, his works have been exhibited in COP26 and COP27 as part of IkonoTV’s ArtSpeaksOut program. In 2015, with his colleague David Cass, he created A La Luz, an online platform and curatorial project dedicated to artists whose work focuses on the environment. Points of Return was their first major joint curatorial project, transforming from an online presentation to a large-scale multimedia exhibition.
