Artist Spotlight: Tomi Pomo

A selection of images by Buenos Aires-born artist Tomi Pomo. Pomo teaches at the University of Buenos Aires and founded Espacio Pomo, an independent space for exhibitions, workshops, and artistic encounters in Buenos Aires. With a background in graphic design, Pomo works across painting, drawing, illustration, and tattooing, developing a playful visual language shaped by humour. He often explores the absurdities embedded in everyday routines and the social structures that shape the way we live:

“I’m interested in the strange contradictions of ordinary life, and in how familiar situations, objects, and behaviours can reveal something ridiculous, unsettling, or unexpected when looked at from a different perspective. Through different media, I use humour and irony to distort and reframe the everyday, blurring the boundaries between the ordinary and the absurd. My process is intuitive and experimental, allowing images and ideas to develop freely, often through unexpected associations and visual contradictions.”

We discovered Tomi Pomo’s work via the Submissions section on our site.
