Currently based in the UK Bedfordshire countryside, Dave’s previous professional career had taken him throughout Europe, where he loved meeting new people, and immersed himself into different cultures. Dave believes these life experiences have helped him overcome boundaries and enhance his creative approach with his long-term passion for art.

Now as a full time, self-taught artist, Dave’s artwork explores the relationship between figurative / abstract techniques, and the balance between vibrant colours and monochrome tones:

“My paintings are all about emotion, light /shadow and capturing "the moment". I strive to blend abstract and loose realism to create a piece that provokes thought and reflection of memories or aspirations in the eye of the beholder. Each time I look at a piece I have created I can always recall a soundtrack I have listened to which helped shape the artwork’s direction.... a bit like having my own playlist in paint.” Dave Thomas

Dave is a member of the fine art trade guild and frequently exhibits his artwork internationally. Dave has been awarded “Collector’s Vision International Art Award” and “Power of Creativity Art Prize” from the International Art Curator Magazine.
