Eliana Patricia Gómez, born in Buenos Aires on February 9, 1978, is a historical and art researcher as well as a multidisciplinary artist. From an early age, she demonstrated an aptitude for artistic expression, and at the age of 14, she published her first drawings. Alongside her artistic development, she cultivated a deep passion for history, which has remained central to her work.
Gómez completed her training at the Manuel Belgrano School of Fine Arts. Later, in private exhibitions, she showcased some of her works, receiving mentions and awards. Her artistic approach is informed by a strong spiritual dimension, often discussing the connection between art and metaphysical themes.
A dedicated scholar, Gómez has expanded her expertise through studies in history, art history, and ancient cultures. She has also explored library sciences, reinforcing her commitment to education and cultural preservation. Her research frequently focuses on the Renaissance period, inspiring scholars and enthusiasts alike to delve into the intricacies of artistic and historical investigation.
One of her primary areas of research is the analysis of artistic signatures and hidden inscriptions within historical artworks. She examines writings and details embedded in works of renowned artists, seeking to contribute to the broader understanding of their history and significance. A notable example of her work is her observations on Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings, where she has identified potential hidden inscriptions and elements that have drawn interest from other researchers in the field.
In her studies on Da Vinci, Gómez has examined works such as Salvator Mundi, La Gioconda, Saint John the Baptist, and the Self-Portrait of Turin.
Her analysis suggests recurring patterns, particularly in the depiction of the left eye (right from the viewer’s perspective), which appears to hold symbolic significance.
Additionally, in La Gioconda, she discovered a visible inscription beneath the hands that corresponds to Leonardo da Vinci’s handwriting. This writing, clearly recognizable as Leonardo’s, could provide new insights into the painting’s history if deciphered.
Regarding Salvator Mundi, Gómez’s images, shared in her group and profile, contributed to another professional identifying the possible signature of Leonardo da Vinci on the sphere.
This observation has opened up new debates and has the potential to clarify the ongoing controversies surrounding the painting’s authorship. Her research highlights how careful analysis of hidden letters and symbols can aid in resolving long-standing disputes in art history.
Gómez has also contributed to the discovery on Il Cristo di Lecco, a drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Her work helped define and highlight aspects related to its possible signature, based on LAM photos taken by Pascal Cotte.
Through enhanced editions of these images, she played a role in refining the visibility of certain graphic signs, which appear to contain the signature of Leonardo da Vinci. These contributions, along with additional insights shared in her group, have sparked further research and discussion on the artwork.
Gómez continues to engage in historical and artistic research, sharing her findings with scholars and the public. She actively participates in online groups such as “Passionate about History and Art,” encouraging discussions and further exploration of historical artworks. Her work focuses on shedding light on hidden inscriptions and writings in historical paintings, which, if deciphered, could contribute to resolving debates regarding authorship and historical context.
