Bio:

Tomas A. Moreno is a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary artist using video, drawing, found objects, sound, sculpture and stencils to investigate the vast space of communication where images and text are distanced by technology. In what ways can an image be transient, and what milieu do they bespeak? What is that relationship, which affects our psychology? His installations create a questioning and investigation using metaphor to seek a deeper realm. Tomas A. Moreno received his BFA from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia CA and his work can be seen in The Audacity of Desperation exhibition, curated by Jessica Lawless and Sarah Ross at Sea and Space Explorations Los Angeles CA.
