Tomo had complicated adolescence with a lot of challenges. Painting was his solace. Although it was difficult at times to pursue his passion, he persevered and continued panting.

Since 2011, Tomo is based in Florence, Italy to further deepen his understanding of Renaissance and Baroque paintings. He studies intensely the masterpiece from great artists and applies it in his paintings with his own interpretation and understanding

His focus is on figurative painting and his motto as a painter is "To find beauty through painting”.

When he isn’t painting, he is an easy-going man who enjoys a glass of wine with his friends. He hopes someday that the kids in his neighborhood would think of him as "someone who enjoys drinking but as soon as he’s in front of the canvas, he looks super cool”.
