Tom Boatright’s journey as an artist began through a series of profound spiritual experiences, where he was guided to create a unique style of painting that fuses metals with raw oils and resins. Using traditional techniques inspired by the Old Masters, Tom handcrafts organic artisan paints that bring a deep sense of energy and emotion to his work.With the rare gift of synesthesia, Tom experiences sound as color. His studio is a space of resonance, where sound, light, and spirit converge. Each painting emerges from this immersive process—where art becomes a living collaboration with the unseen, a reflection of love, harmony, and the elemental forces of nature.Tom's work channels what he calls the Quintessence—the union of spirit and matter. This fifth element, beyond earth, air, fire, and water, represents the soul’s journey and the light that connects all things. His paintings are not just visual experiences—they are emotional and energetic, designed to elevate the spaces they inhabit and stir something timeless within the viewer.“Tom’s paintings channel a deep force… a mastery of light itself. The beauty is beyond the physical.”— Michael Croman, American PainterTom believes that art is a path of return—a way to transcend the noise of the world and reconnect with our higher selves. His work invites us into a state of grace, to remember who we are and what we’re here to become. It is a message of hope, light, and love—for the individual and for humanity.
