Former US President Bill Clinton receives a photograph by and from Panamanian photographer Javier Gomez in New York city just days after Magic Dreams Productions announced that Clinton will give a lecture in Panama City in June. Both men share a vision of global connection. they met  last week, just a few days after the announcement that Clinton will present a lecture in Panama City on June 4. “I don’t believe in coincidences,” said Javier, “We chatted for a few minutes and I know that he is going to bring a great vibe and message to Panama. His message is actually similar to the inspiration behind my art.”   A former  model and  flight attendant, Javier moved to New York in 2004. Having worked on the other side of the lens, he says, makes him extra critical of his own photographs. Though his subjects are seldom human, he says his inspiration has long been to “capture balance and aesthetics in order to appeal to a universal audience. “It was a big day for me,” said Javier, “Clinton’s presidency was personally inspiring to me and I am very proud as an artist and as a Panamanian for having now the honor to have him as a collector. My piece is proudly hung at his home in Chappaqua, NY.    Javier studied photography at New York University and Cooper Union and also intern  for  famous fashion photographer Steven Klein. His work is driven by his keen eye for symmetry, serenity and “a thread that connects us all as people.” .
