Thomas Sipos shifted his focus from sculpture to painting in recent years, working primarily in oil with a figurative and realistic approach. Drawing inspiration from the old masters, he employs layered techniques on canvases primed with earth tones. His paintings engage with the ambiguity of reflection, using light, shadow, and environmental influences to suggest the complex relationship between perception and consciousness. Through this interplay, Sipos encourages viewers to consider the hidden facets of both the world and the self.
