Edgar Gomez

I was born in a small town in Belize, Central America.
I am a self-taught artist who began to experiment with charcoal at the age of 15, eventually moving on to acrylics.

​I like to use vivid colors in my work, using the inspiration that growing up in a Caribbean country has given me. Through my work I hope to promote the beauty of Belize as well as to capture the simplicity of the everyday Belizean lifestyle and culture — a rich blend of Garifuna, Creole, Mestizo and Mayan traditions.
