This painting by Ahmed Gomez combines a loosely rendered, retro‑style female figure with bold geometric abstraction. The left side shows an expressive, warm‑toned portrait with fluid brushwork, while the right side is interrupted by a vertical cascade of sharp black and gray squares and triangles that step diagonally across the composition, creating a striking tension between figuration and hard‑edge geometry.

Ahmed Gómez (also spelled Ahmed Gomez) is a Cuban-born contemporary artist known for mixing figurative imagery with hard‑edge geometric abstraction and pop‑cultural references. He was born in 1972 in Holguín, Cuba, and studied at the Vocational School of Art in Holguín, the National School of Art (ENA) in Havana, and the Higher Institute of Art (ISA) in Havana, before later settling and working in Miami.
His paintings often appropriate vintage advertising, pin‑up and mass‑media imagery, which he partially obscures or fragments with crisp geometric structures, exploring memory, nostalgia, and the language of modern visual culture. Gómez has exhibited in institutions and galleries such as Kendall Art Center (Miami), Landhuis Bloemhof (Curaçao), and in various group shows in Cuba and the United States, and his works are held in private collections including the Mosquera Collection in Miami.
