Born and raised in Colorado, Anthony Tomas realized at a very young age that he
possessed a unique ability to capture and express emotions on canvas. His talents
did not go unrecognized, and as a result had many of his early childhood artwork
displayed in various art centers in Colorado. He obtained his Bachelors degree from
Colorado State University, and achieved a Masters degree from the University of
Colorado. During his early college years he often sold portrait drawings to help pay
for his college costs.

His work has since evolved from the realism of portraits toward an impressionistic
style, where color draws a person into the picture enabling the viewer to feel the
emotion that the painting portrays. A number of his paintings currently reside in
private collections.

Inspired by his travels to France, Italy and South America, Anthony incorporates the
use of both knives and brushes along with dramatic and intense colors to create
his unique one-of-a-kind paintings. He is best known for his ability to combine colors
and textures to evoke feelings and moods in his work. Anthony still resides in
Colorado, and continues to travel and gain inspiration for his artwork.
