Fara Thomas an Iranian American abstract artist whose work is described by two features: reflection and transparency; smooth reflecting surfaces, and the depth of the colour transparency which makes the viewer’s eye constantly travel through the image, moving from one imaginary space to the other.

The shiny surfaces of the artwork contain the view, deflecting it into the picture’s environment, thereby opening up communication between art and its surroundings; while the transparency of the colour layers directs the viewer’s eye into the picture, introducing a depth dimension that at first glance seems to be imaginary.

Thomas paints her abstract works with immense care, layer by layer, using a transparent, pigmented epoxy resin, and creating an infinite depth in the process bringing the foreground and background seamlessly together.
