Thomas Stokes III American, b. 1997

Thomas Stokes III (b. 1997) is a San Antonio–based artist working across traditional and digital media. Self-taught and rooted in drawing and painting, his practice centers on surreal, fragmented portraiture that explores identity, perception, and inner tension. Through organic linework, fractured figures, and a palette of muted earth tones punctuated by vivid color, Stokes creates emotionally charged compositions that balance dissonance and harmony.
