Gómez began his artistic career with a series concisely titled Gallos (Roosters), where he investigated the culture surrounding cock fights in Colombia. It is a very treasured pastime in the country that embarks on a religious nature with owners taking more care of their roosters than of themselves. This series, as well as Punto Penal (Penalty) which investigated soccer posts in mainly rural locations, extends to the photographer’s analytical perspective towards the social status and resulting stratification of Colombia. Like many photographers before him, Gómez focuses on his subjects in a documentarian aspect and produces a diverse, metaphoric series of images that capture the identity of a select group of people and situations.

Bathing Pools was exhibited in part at the French Alliance in Bogotá in 2011 and will include a larger, previously non-exhibited selection at Galería MÜ. Gómez studied photography in Buenos Aires in 2008 and has since exhibited individually at the French Alliance and the Colombo-American Center in Bogotá, as well as collectively in the Fotográfica Biennial in Bogotá in 2011 and in a traveling exhibition in Arles, France and Penang, Malaysia, among others.
