NJ based Puerto Rican artist Tania Pomales specializes in dark and surreal works created primarily in oils.  As a nod to her colorful and bold heritage, Pomales incorporates bright color palettes into her art in juxtaposition with darker motifs, such as skulls and human anatomical references, to explore themes of life and death and the cyclical nature of the human experience.  The importance of mental health and deep self reflection are also fundamental themes in her body of work.
