About Paul Thomas:

Thomas creates beautiful, colorful abstract paintings exploring color, form and spatial differentiation.  There seems a ray of light infused into his vibrant paintings.  Paul studied at the Arts Student's League in NYC, and his works have been in public and private display in the US, Canada, France and Italy.

“Heaven gives us a revealing answer, unique perspective and clear vision, brought forth by an unmistakable glory of well-calculated shapes and an explosion of color… Thomas' prophetic images are conducive to meditation.  Through his technique, he brings forth well chosen colored ideas, which in time become addictive and manage to alleviate in us the deepest ingrained sorrow.  The paintings form a harmonious whole.  The vivid, wild, sensual, elegant and colorful meditations, worked unhurriedly, resonate within us, and in return seek comfort in the utopic heavens.”
