DAVID TOMLIN - FINE ARTIST

, after which I return to my studio to transform the scene into an abstracted and transfigured composition. I want the viewer to be excited by the textures, colours and shapes in my paintings. To create varied surfaces, I often use a mix of natural and created materials, including modelling paste, gels, silica sand, and photo and stencil inserts with acrylic or oil paint. More than a love of colour and a passion for design, my paintings embrace a sense of spirituality. The concept of ‘flourishing’ and what it means to thrive in life is a prominent theme in my artwork - contemporary artwork for a transfigured state of being.
