A Message from Tom Gates creator of UltraVega Arts

Thank you for visiting my website. Here you will find many unique and strange pieces of art. I hope you enjoy them and maybe even catch a glimpse of something that looks familiar some how, as if you have seen it in a dream that you don't fully remember.

Have you ever looked at clouds and found animals and faces? Have you ever seen a shadow out of the corner of your eye, or seen something moving among the shadows late at night? Have you ever taken a walk through a wooded path and feel like someone was watching you?

These are all examples of the unconscious mind reacting to external world, bringing the unconscious into our reality.

I remember as a child, laying in bed looking up at my stucco ceiling and seeing amazing and fantastical things forming in the random textures. The work I do comes from this same fantastical place. It is a wonderful and sometimes dark place. The mind is always dreaming somewhere beneath itself. I think some how it is working on much bigger problems while we unknowingly carry on our daily dramas.

Sometimes it is hard to commune with this subconscious place, and other times it is as simple as finding a piece of driftwood or seeing a cluster of trees in a shadowy grove. To me it all seems to be some kind hidden wisdom trying to be remembered
