Tom creates monumental charcoal drawings in which the human figure becomes a vehicle for existential and psychological tension. His images depict anonymous bodies and enclosed interiors that function as mental spaces, shaped by themes of guilt, isolation, and moral confrontation. Through a strong use of light and chiaroscuro, he develops a visual language that is at once direct, physical, and free of irony or spectacle.
The human being appears as an emotional creature, trapped within an inner world of feeling. Light acts as a moral and emotional compass.
