'The work is the result of several years of specialized research on rendering light as subject matter into the work. Through a unique, inimitable technique, the material visualization of the light is developed all through a theme under study, transforming the natural, realistic appearance of the subject into the accomplished final stage of the painting ,where light is 'materialized', while the subject's physical aspect, as represented , becomes transparent.'
'The pictorial work of Dana Tomsa ... solitary figures, children, clowns, women of ancient beauty,
appear suspended and undefended, compared with myths, astonished in front of sculptures
and resigned angels.
The first impression is of a delicate and discrete vision, wich consequently suddenly becomes intense , nearly liturgical .
It is a chromatic vision ,wich transforms itself into a musical score, from chiaro scuri emerges. The colour densifies and expands creating provisorial locations without definitions and then concentrating without any interruption to become forms that will leave you to expect other events. Words cannot explain the tender and unrestrained visual efficacy of Tomsa art where there is no uncertainty .It even seems that the artist is pushed from a burst of impellent activity. Every single painting expelles dynamism ,every painting offers a door or window that invites you to enter or to look out or to participate to the events depicted in .In the art of Dana Tomsa transpire a bold and daring époque ,a reminiscence of their ancestors stubborn and haughty ,detached from the past-wich has turned rusty for the future.
…forms and different locations created with vigorous ,elaborated stubborn and efficient techniques awaiting or predicting events, inside a chromatic space that reboil with tension and wich expand beyond the frame of the painting itself…'
Claudio Barletta , screenwriter
'… è sorprendente la sensibilità e la qualità di stesura di questa artista che,
evidentemente, ha una cura attentissima del dato tecnico e, tuttavia, non è,
in tutta evidenza, un sterile virtuoso ma un maestro di grazia, ironia e,
direi anche, di sottile malinconia.
Nelle sue finissime cose ho avuto il sentore di uno stato d’animo
“kafkiano” quasi che l’angosciosa idea della “metamorfosi”
fosse stata assimilata dell'artista come un'elegante e stralunata “variazione sul tema”
per cui l’artista vede gli animali e le persone con la stessa percezione,
che scopre caratteri molto umani nel mondo animale e un po’ “animaleschi “ in quello umano.
I “ritratti” (non saprei definirli in modo diverso) degli animali sono veri ritratti di individui ben definiti colti nei loro malumori, nelle loro attese, nei loro sentimenti.
I personaggi umani sono calati in una sorta di doppia natura che non muta, tuttavia
l’effetto di autentico e gentile ritratto che l’artista né dà .Ho l’impressione che Tomsa abbia,realmente delle singolari qualità di pittore e il suo quadro 'Il Pensiero' è una prova di pittura interessante, con quelle mani cosi vissute e cosi forti ,tali da incutere un senso di rispettosa ammirazione in chi guarda , in un equilibrio sereno tra verosimiglianza e fantasia.'
Claudio Strinati
