Georgina Gómez is a multidisciplinary artist born in Zacatecas, Mexico, in 1950. Throughout her artistic career, she has ventured into sculpture, ceramics, engraving and mixed media, but it is through painting that she has fully realised her potential. Her work is the result of intense research, which has been recognised since its beginnings in 1996 with an honourable mention at the first painting fair organised by the Ramón López Velarde Cultural Institute in Zacatecas, and selected in 2010 for the Balconadas Biennial in Spain, as well as the Second Pedro Coronel Painting Biennial in Zacatecas. Over the last twenty years, Georgina Gómez's work has been exhibited in Mexico and abroad, notably in the United States, Italy, Portugal, Spain and France. In 2007, the artist was invited by the Art Actua gallery in Le Mans to exhibit Chers soleils d'hiver, a pictorial exhibition that was later shown at the Casa de México in Paris, where she returned the following year with the graphic exhibition Persuasif and Païen. This marked the beginning of a period of openness, travel and invitations that led Georgina Gómez to exhibit her work in several residencies around the world.

In 2008, she received a grant from the Rojo Urbiola Foundation to attend the two-month screen-printing course at the International Centre for Contemporary Prints in Betanzos, Spain, which gave rise to the Camino Celta exhibition. In 2010, she travelled to Slovakia, where she was invited by the P&P PETRÁS gallery to work on and exhibit her sculpture. In 2011, her work took her to India, where in the space of a month she produced the painting exhibition Walking my destiny, which was held at the Hutheesing Visual Art Center gallery in Ahmedabad.
