Fine art oil paintings, oil paintings, mixed media,gouache and drawings by Swiss contemporary artist Thomas Adam Welcome to The painting could become a child or a parent, a brother or a sister. The artists give birth to them and they are responsible for their creatures in front of God and people. Brullov "A life without Art is like a ship without oars" -- Anon. Artist's Statement from TA-Thomas Adam At the core of my being, I am compelled to create art. No matter what media I am using, my goals as an artist remain the same-- I endeavor to create art that will engage, provoke and cause the viewer to reflect and wonder. I wish to invite my audience to question and hopefully identify with the issues I am raising be they social, spiritual or esthetic. A little bit more about my work: The surfaces of my mixed media paintings are worked with a combination of techniques applied in various layers. Pigments are thinned to a liquid consistency with different solvents and manipulated, thus achieving diverse effects. Sometimes I mix the gouache and watercolors up with glue, ink, chalk or whatever the academic art professors strictly have forbidden! :-) I learned very much by studying the great innovations in technique by surrealist artist Max Ernst - collage and rubbing, frottage, grattage and decalcomania - Scrapings, dry brush, scumbling, palette knife application, and glazes ensue. Glazes capriciously trickle in different directions. All definitively aid in giving my images a life of their own. The images in my recent paintings are those he has worked with for the past several years. I employ element of transcendental Inner and Outer Realities, creating images which seek to engage the viewer into a feeling of resonance, much the way religious icons seek to elicit that response in believers. I believe that art has a spiritual value, and that art's strength lies in its ability to serve as a point of connection between an individual and something larger than oneself. I create my Inner & Outer Realities in expressive and surrealistic oil painting, mixed media and watercolor modern art techniques. My subjects are about symbolism, erotic godly women, eternal femininity, escapism, transpersonal psychology and alcohol & drugs abuse.
