From 16th-century portraitist El Greco to <a href=\"https:\/\/smarthistory.org\/period-culture-style\/baroque\/spanish-baroque\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Baroque<\/a> painters like Diego Vel\u00e1zquez and Bartolom\u00e9 Murillo, the nation\u2019s art history brims with narrative and intrigue. In the 17th century especially, dramatic contrasts of light and shadow influenced by Italian painter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/essays\/caravaggio-michelangelo-merisi-1571-1610-and-his-followers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caravaggio<\/a> met movement, emotion, and religiosity to create theatrical tableaux.<\/p>\n<p>For Gonz\u00e1lez, this legacy informs a painting practice that merges past and present. \u201cCreating isn\u2019t something we do. It\u2019s something we are,\u201d the artist says in a statement. \u201cAnd I come from that; I carry it in my body.\u201d Her expressive oil compositions draw upon aristocratic portraits and religious paintings, centering the focus on beautiful women who wear contemporary parkas and puffer coats.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gonzalez-2.jpg\" class=\"swipebox\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-475548\" title=\"\u201cBeati coloro che danzano all\u2019alba del giorno\u201d (2025), oil on linen, 116 x 97 centimeters\" data-rl_title=\"\u201cBeati coloro che danzano all\u2019alba del giorno\u201d (2025), oil on linen, 116 x 97 centimeters\" data-rl_caption=\"\u201cBeati coloro che danzano all\u2019alba del giorno\u201d (2025), oil on linen, 116 x 97 centimeters\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gonzalez-2.jpg\" alt=\"a painting in the style of a historical oil portrait of a beautiful woman with very long, red hair wearing a long white puffer coat while children attend to her hair with flowers\" class=\"wp-image-475550\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cBeati coloro che danzano all\u2019alba del giorno\u201d (2025), oil on linen, 116 x 97 centimeters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It would be remiss not to mention the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-puffer-jacket-fake-photos-deepfake-power-peril-of-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI-generated meme<\/a> of Pope Francis wearing a giant white puffer coat, which swept across the internet in 2023 and appeared so realistic that it initially fooled many into thinking it was real. The stir was not only about the perils of the technology and deepfakes but also that the image itself was so jarring. The papacy originated approximately 2,000 years ago and is steeped in specific customs, rituals, and visuals, so to imagine the pope wearing something so modern felt out of sync with time and tradition.<\/p>\n<p>This asynchronous tension is what Gonz\u00e1lez latches onto, albeit in a somewhat more tender, considerate way. She merges art historical tropes with an emphasis on women protagonists and garments that reflect style trends distinctive to the late 20th and 21st centuries. With demure expressions, vivid outfits, and direct gazes, the figures central in her paintings buck the norm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never tried to separate the cultured from the popular or the historical from the contemporary,\u201d the artist says. \u201cWhat interests me is precisely that these references speak to one another and generate something alive, not a nostalgic image of the past but something with a pulse today\u2026But what ties all those layers together, if I had to name just one thing, is a search for humanity and emotion within the image. That whoever looks at the painting feels something real. That\u2019s what matters to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few of the works seen here are currently on view in the artist\u2019s solo exhibition, <em>A Friendship Story<\/em>, which continues through July 25 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richardhellergallery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Richard Heller Gallery<\/a> in Santa Monica.
