Tom Tomos writes: 'I live in a world of sea, sky, rivers and mountains – Ceredigion on the coast of west Wales - and it’s these elements that appear in my work.  I want my paintings to capture the movement of the moist, windy, salty air.  I try to abstract elements of the landscape and sky but lately there has been a tendency for more figurative forms to creep back into my work.  I carry images and colours around in my head, sometimes for years, before they suddenly erupt onto canvas. I paint mainly in acrylics because I like the rapidity with which they dry, but some of my work is with mixed media. 

I’m as likely to be pouring paint onto a canvas flat on the floor as working with a conventional brush.  I have recently started to experiment with digitally manipulated images of my smaller works to produce limited edition prints.  My style is my own, but I am greatly influenced by the work of other British painters; Bomberg, Lanyon, Heron and Jarman.'
