"From the beginning, the themes developed in my paintings were connected in a certain way with my places, my travels and with the feelings I constantly face. With these triggers I focus my work on the creation of new spaces, far from human figuration and far from situations and concepts possible in reality. In this way I can fully immerse myself in the experience of painting and concentrate on color, form and brushstroke. I believe that in this way, painting takes its true path. I work in large formats that allow me to get inside the painting, to get involved in it with each movement".

Tomás Benedit began his artistic training at the age of seventeen in the drawing and painting workshop of Emiliano Sánchez Sosa. In 2007 he entered the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes Regina Pacis (Buenos Aires, Argentina), where he deepened his studies in painting and was initiated in sculpture and engraving techniques. She felt the need to explore new ways and ways to approach art, especially painting. It was then that he settled in Barcelona.
