  • This piece expresses physical intimacy between two men. My hope is that, by witnessing more moments of intimacy like this, we will become more curious about what intimacy means for ourselves and how we share that with others. Ideally, with loving intentions to spread more respect and bliss to ourselves and others.

My contemporary

figurative artwork

focuses on the male figure as a site of emotional truth-exploring

intimacy, vulnerability, grief, and resilience

through expressive lines, minimal palettes and compositions.

Influenced by classical

draftsmanship and

modern emotional realism, the work speaks to

collectors drawn to depth, subtlety,

and lasting resonance.

This is art as a companion, not decor - a

reminder of our humanity and our tenderness.

Solo exhibition at Brokers Gallery
Downtown, San Diego (2025)

What collectors are saying…

  • I own multiple pieces by Thomas Graff and his work moves me every time I see it. I'm also impressed at how hardworking this artist is - making pieces that stand the test of time and express such delicate emotional qualities that everyone can related to. His work is a conversation starter.

  • I commissioned Thomas for a drawing depicting a super emotional and sensitive moment in my life. The piece turned out better than I expected and I'm honored to own his artwork that captured this moment so beautifully.

    - Matthew

  • I wear his apparel all the time. I'm grateful to see gay-themed work presented in such a classy way.

Art keeps me up and night and helps me rise in the morning. It’s a practice, much like meditation, that calms my mind and makes me feel connected to my soul.

Born in Illinois, I have a degree in Art and my work has been seen in publications like: Elle, People, WWD, Business Insider, New Beauty, Beach Modern Luxury and San Diego Magazine.
