Matilde Tomat is an award-winning artist, writer, psychogeographer, and eclectic psychotherapist. Her practice evolved from the inquiry on loss to the discernment of past events, the idea of posterity, the concepts of Truth and the discernment between Seer and Seen. A lover of silence, she is intrigued by hidden connections, synchronicities, and the mystical. Her Practice-led MA by Research at York St John explored the encounter with the Divine in the act of drawing. Currently, she is researching upper palaeolithic rock art through the lenses of phenomenology of caves and Jungian archetypes to explore the emergence of consciousness for her PhD at Bangor University. She has exhibited extensively in the UK and Italy. Her books are available on Amazon. [IB, MRes, MBACP, MNCPS]
