About this artwork

Excerpt from "The Snowfall Is So Silent" by Miguel de Unamuno, translated by Robert Bly

The snowfall is so silent, so slow,
bit by bit, with delicacy it settles down on the earth
and covers over the fields.
The silent snow comes down white and weightless;
snowfall makes no noise, falls as forgetting falls, flake after flake.
It covers the fields gently while frost attacks them
with its sudden flashes of white;
covers everything with its pure and… silent covering;
not one thing on the ground anywhere escapes it.
And wherever it falls it stays, content and gay,
for snow does not slip off as rain does,
but it stays and sinks in.
The flakes are skyflowers, pale lilies from the clouds,
that wither on earth.
They come down blossoming but then so quickly
they are gone;
they bloom only on the peak, above the mountains,
and make the earth feel heavier when they die inside.

« Expressing my love of colour and design, my paintings convey a sense of spirituality. The concept of ‘flourishing’ is a prominent theme in my work. »

David Tomlin is an exciting Canadian painter who has exhibited his work nationally, including in the US, Canada and France. Self-taught and creating from a signature Canadian perspective, he composes surreal, vibrant paintings that exalt natural light and colour. He is influenced by Impressionism, and more profoundly by Canadian First Nations artists in their representations of humanity's relationship to the natural world. Tomlin's semi-abstract style showcases purpose, intensity and an energizing visual flourish. Together with a love of colour and a passion for design, Tomlin's paintings evoke a sense of contemplative spirituality expressing his understanding of the three ‘transcendentals’- BEAUTY, GOODNESS, and TRUTH.
