Tom Li Tom Li, nature boy & self-taught, is a German artist whose passion is nature and the organic structures it contains. His prefferred depicted "habitat" is the forest, which he studies in endless long walks in every season. The viewer finds humans & animals in vain even Tom Li's naturalistic paintings. He restricts himself exclusively to the flora. His abstract works are seemingly subject to the principle of chance and usually form real structures or life forms if you look to the painting longer. It can form itself into abstract-surreal worlds for the viewer. Tom Li lives & works very secluded on the outskirts of a small town in in North Rhine-Westphalica.
