Thomas Del Porte
The moment Thomas Del Porte found oil paint, he says, it was like coming home. The color, the texture, the smell – Del Porte’s art has been described as painting adjectives. His work transports you into a world of color, light, line and unique space. Each stroke is an individual moment in time that when combined, creates a story that you want to discover anew, over and over.
Strongly rooted within the western traditions of art, Del Porte’s paintings possess a unique realism that stands on top of a thick textured world.
