Tomas Patrick Quigley, an English born artist and poet currently based in Boston, has spent sixteen years honing his unique perspective as a master of color and line. An Irish citizen of combined English and Irish parentage, Tomas spent his earlier years traveling throughout the world with his family. His extensive travels, in earlier as well as later years, along with his education in mathematics, computer technology, science, philosophy, and history, have combined to create an artistic perspective based upon atypical, albeit extraordinary influences. Tomas primarily applies paint directly to the canvas using his hands. This gives his paintings a sense of immediacy which, allied with his unique palette, magnifies the compositions. His paintings can be found in private collections throughout the world

He took his degree in Fine Arts (specialization: Painting) at the Saint George
Faculty of Fine Arts, in Barcelona (1989-1994), and got his doctorate at the University
of Barcelona in 2001. After finishing his degree, he made his first group exhibitions
(Barcelona, 1994-1995), and was selected in several occasions in the "Premio a la
pintura joven", organized by Sala Par (Barcelona, 1993-1995, and 1997). He combined his
pictorial activity of these years with teaching, working as a part-time professor of
Artistic Anatomy at the Saint George Faculty of Fine Arts (Barcelona, 1993-1994), and as
a teacher of Drawing, Painting and Modeling in the "Taller de Dibuix i Pintura" art
academy (Barcelona, 1994-1999). In 1996, the Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid gave
him a scholarship for collaboration on the inventory of the library and archive of the
poet and art critic Rafael Santos Torroella, which allowed him to collaborate on the
translation into Spanish of Ernst H. Gombrich's "Art History" (Barcelona, 1998), and to
work on several publications. His first solo exhibitions were held in Barcelona (1996 and
1997), the main subject of which was portrait, because, although Gin Quinero's
pictorical subject matter covers from still lives, interiors and landscapes to human figure,
the latter is the most important subject in his work. In 2000, he returned to Palma de
Mallorca, his home city, where he has been working to date on a set of figure paintings
about People from Antiquity.
