Contemporary American Painter
Tomas Fernandez
Fernandez' reputation as an abstract
painter is more private than public. Many
of his paintings take years to complete.
They are a record of a deep personal
connection between the artist and the
Master Painter who inspires and animates
his very life and dreams.
With his sculptures on the forefront of the
media and considering the time it takes to
fulfill commissions, Fernandez' paintings
have maintained themselves as rare gems
of the private collectors who visit his
studio or happen upon an exhibition in DC
by a gallery that has earned Fernandez'
trust.

"I approach painting in a prayerful way, inviting the
Holy Spirit to inspire me from one color or motion to
the next. It is a dance of prayerful emotion. Many
times it is not until the final movements that I
understand the many layers that have comprised
the orchestration of the work".
The layers in this work seem to take on different
colors and movements depending on your vantage
point. At one moment the whole earth appears to
be exploding and in the next it is being remade with
all the forces of heaven drawn into its very fabric.
This work truly reveals an apocalyptic end and a
new beginning, all within the same breath of God.

This remarkable painting is one of
Fernandez' most valuable, not only
due to the unique texture which is
formed by layers upon layers of oil
paints, but also from the mysterious
and beautiful love story which
surrounds it.
A novel and screen-play are being
developed to unveil the story of how
this painting, from a vision in a
dream, was instrumental in the
meeting and marriage of Tomas with
his true love...

Tomas Fernandez'
abstract contemporary
paintings are unique in
the way that they
impact each person on
a deep and personal
level.
Contrary to the empty
and often admittedly
meaningless forms
that the abstract
artists of this century
pursue in their
attempts at shocking
and perverse imagery,
Fernandez seeks the
Divine Love that
reveals all that we are
and can become.
If a recording were
made of a person's
individual
conversations with the
Creator, The Master
Artist, what value could
we place on the
listening to that
recording? It would be
priceless to those who
hunger to know Him
more deeply...
Yet, here are many
conversations visually
shared before you on
this page. Be inspired,
reflect, contemplate,
pray, and invite your
own conversation.
"My paintings are like a song, a prayer, a private conversation with the Creator. They are treasured moments in time, captured yet unrepeatable."
