Hi. My name is Thomas. My focus of work are large paintings of family and friends. Images of backyard BBQ’s, holiday get together’s, and candid moments help to put me back in time. This body of work explores nostalgia, loss, and the pain of wanting the past. The compositions are complex but subtle. Like a dream with multiple layers. My figures pose as if knowing the picture is capturing a moment beyond them, those common, profound, moments that connect us all. My color is saturated and expressive. I blend realism, abstraction, and bold color, to create a visual narrative that becomes an emotional minefield. Reflection is my guide to perception. I turn haunting images into mythic abstraction.
