Here we present “Forza della natura”, “The force of nature” painted by Mr. Thoms, the artistic alias of Diego Della Posta, a Roman artist born in 1979 whose career spans cinema, theater, and urban art.
Mr. Thoms studied graphic design and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and since 2000, he has worked as a production designer for film and theater, as well as an illustrator for cinema and television. His creativity knows no bounds: he contributed to the set design for the Sochi Olympic ceremonies and has participated in numerous writing and street art festivals worldwide. His work can be seen on walls in Italy, Denmark, California, Portugal, and Spain.
With an unmistakable style, Mr. Thoms combines vibrant colors and geometric shapes to create a sense of movement that seems to bring his characters off the wall. His subjects, often cartoonish and whimsical, have a funky spark in their eyes that makes them dynamic and full of energy. Every stroke, every line radiates vitality, almost making you feel the breath of his characters, the music they play, or even the smell of the paint that surrounds them.
Mr. Thoms is a multifaceted artist, drawing inspiration from various media: books, comics, films, cartoons, and most notably, surrealist painting. His art is in constant evolution because for him, style is not a cage—it’s the search itself that defines his work.
In “Forza della natura,” the artist drew inspiration from the very shape of the container he painted on. He transformed this industrial object into an anamorphic character that personifies the face of nature itself. The play of forms and colors seamlessly blends with the surrounding environment, integrating the work into the greenery that envelops it.
The result is an explosion of vitality: nature becomes the protagonist, a powerful and dynamic entity brought to life on this container, transforming urban art into a visual dialogue between the industrial and the organic.
