German painter Tom F. Klein has a keen eye for observing the world around him. He finds inspiration

in the everyday and the people he encounters, capturing fleeting moments and subtle details. 

       Deeply influenced by the ‘Künstlergruppe Die Brücke', Tom, as his idols from 'Die Brücke' did,

loves to use unusually strong, unnatural colors to jolt the viewer and provoke an emotional response.

He creates vivid contrasts and uses various techniques to intensify his subjects' features and deepen

the mystery behind their faces. The effect is bold, but it does not overshadow the subject.

       Tom has a unique fascination with human beauty, which he sees in every ethnic group. He explores

the irrational, fabulous, and romantic aspects that lie beneath people's appearances, and his portraits evoke sensuality, sensitivity, and an appreciation for beauty, including male beauty.

       He believes that male beauty is often overlooked in the art world and is passionate about bringing

it back into focus.

       ‘The male beauty in arts give us an insight into what is special about masculinity, a vulnerable,

sensual side is revealed to us. Lately a new kind of man, of male beauty has emerged, a strong man

with a touch of femininity which makes 'the man' even more interesting.

       Tom has lived in various countries, including Germany, Argentina, Mexico, and China, and spent considerable time in the USA. He moved back to Germany in 2021. 

       Successful exhibitions in Mexico and China brought him a lot of interest and have helped him build

a large following especially in Asia.

       Tom’s paintings have found their way into private collections worldwide, including Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico City, Bogotá, France, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland and Germany.

       Transitioning from advertising to a successful career as a painter, his creative journey is further evolving

into writing. Tom is a passionate storyteller whose global experiences have profoundly shaped his artistic journey. However, it is his deep connection to Thailand that stands at the heart of his writing.

       Inspired by the country's vibrant culture and stunning landscapes, Tom crafts MM Romance novels that

resonate with Boys Love, New Adult, and LGBTQ+ audiences.

       With emotionally rich narratives and evocative settings, Tom’s books invite readers to explore themes of love, self-discovery, and connection against the backdrop of Thailand’s dynamic cities and serene natural beauty.

      Whether set in the bustling streets of Bangkok or the tranquil charm of Chiang Mai, his works offer a window into the heart of Thailand’s culture and spirit.

      Tom’s novels, known for their sensitivity and depth, continue to captivate readers worldwide, and more heartfelt stories are on the way.
