In all cultures, throughout history, humans have immortalized their emotions and beliefs through stories. My artwork is my way of continuing that tradition—it is a means of transforming my emotions and experiences into something that feels as timeless and universal as the mythology that inspires me.
By drawing from the art and symbolism of cultures around the world and combining them with a watercolor technique that feels both modern and antique, I strive to create a world of my own—one in which the viewer is free to explore the magic and humanity intrinsic to us all.

Biography
Tomas Benincasa Reade draws inspiration from antiquity to create an enigmatic reality steeped in mythology, spirituality, and culture. Benincasa Reade’s creations act as portals to a world unbound by convention or science. Viewers often ask whether his characters are human or alien, what animals are depicted, or what real-world inspirations inform the works’ peculiarities. Yet, he leaves these questions unanswered, encouraging us to embrace the mystery, interpret our own meanings, and build personal connections with his imaged realm.
