FARA THOMAS

Born in Tehran, Iran, as an immigrant in the 70s, she gracefully merged her Iranian art heritage, rich in painting, pottery, calligraphy, and more, into her works.

Thomas's approach to art is fascinating and deeply rooted in the expressive power of color. By focusing on color as the primary means of communication, she explores the capacity of hues and tones to evoke emotions.

For Thomas, color becomes a language in itself, capable of telling stories, eliciting moods, and sparking connections with the viewer on a visceral level. By harnessing the emotive qualities of color, she creates artworks that resonate with viewers on a personal and intuitive level, inviting them to engage with the visual experience in a profound and introspective way.

Two features that also describe Thomas’ works are reflection and transparency; smooth reflecting surfaces, and the depth of the color transparency which makes the viewer’s eye constantly travel through the image, moving from one imaginary space to the other.

The shiny surfaces of the artwork contain the view, deflecting it into the picture’s environment; integrating seamlessly with its environment, blurring the lines between the created work and the space it occupies.

While the transparency of the color layers directs the viewer’s eye into the picture, opening up a depth dimension that at first glance seems to be imaginary.

The use of multiple layers of transparent, pigmented adds a captivating dimension to the pieces. The transparency of the resin allows light to penetrate and interact with the layers, creating a sense of depth and luminosity that appears to emanate from within the artwork itself. Each piece is a harmonious symphony of shades, seamlessly blending to evoke joy, wonder, and contemplation.

Thomas’ resin art is more than a visual feast; it is a call to connect with the profound and transformative power of color. It offers tranquility and beauty amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Seize the opportunity to lose yourself in these mesmerizing creations and discover the captivating magic of color in a way you’ve never experienced before.
