Born to a ceramicist, Thomas was exposed to art at a very young age. After pursuing his studies in Mechanical Engineering at MCAST and obtaining a Higher National Diploma, he decided to return to art and design. Thomas obtained a Diploma in Design Foundation Studies in 2014, a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts in 2017 and a Master of Fine Arts in Digital Arts in 2019 at University of Malta. Throughout the years, Thomas has been experimenting with various materials and techniques. He frequently challenges the boundaries between the man-made and the natural. While doing so, his work often aims to raise concerns about the potential consequences of unsustainable human intervention. Thomas' work was first exhibited in 2016 at VGB Art in Valletta, a series of paintings entitled Deceit. Later on, he had his second solo exhibition entitled Self which formed part of his thesis for the BFA in Digital Arts course in 2017 which took place at Marie Gallery 5 in Mosta. This was his first series of metal sculptures, a medium which frequently features in Thomas' work. in 2021, Thomas had his third solo show entitled Rooftops. This work combined sculpture and painting and an introduction to his minimal work. Thomas has also participated in various collective shows along the years.
