Gómez showed his artistic abilities since a young age: in his early twenties he drew portraits of his maternal grandparents, Manuel Cornet Diaz - Deputy for the National Congress in 1882 - and his wife Doña Rosario Palacio Achával, found today in the Historical Museum of Santiago del Estero.

After studying at the City of Lights and Barcelona, deeply know the works and techniques of early Renaissance masters and contact and the avant-garde, in 1921 Gómez returned to Argentina and exposed in the defunct Galería Chandler of Buenos Aires the first pictures with Cubist and Fauvist influences known in Argentina, having a pioneering role on the new trends that other artists would follow a few years later.

During his stay in Mendoza he was a professor at the Academía de Bellas Artes, from which emerged internationally renowned artists such as Carlos Alonso and Enrique Sobisch.

During his life he made around 1500 works, including oils, watercolors, pastels, drawings and prints.

Ramón Gómez Cornet married Argentina Rotondo, with whom he had two daughters, Rosario and Adelina.
