His painting reflects twentieth-century movements that focused on figuration, expressing their subject matter through images. These included artists such as Renato Guttuso, Corrado Cagli, Pietro Annigoni, and so on. The late twentieth century saw a shift toward new art forms such as conceptual art, minimalism, and body art, but there remained a segment of artists who insisted on remaining figurative. Figurative artworks from this period often feature realistic depictions of human subjects, landscapes, and objects. Francesco Tomei seeks to go further, creating a work with a contemporary feel, echoing Bernini's Baroque aesthetic, with The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"Corpo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Avenir Next LT Pro',sans-serif;\"\u003eA strong and bold figurative style, as are the colors he uses, in Francesco Tomei's work the drawing seems to dominate the canvas, composing a pattern of bizarre similes that together create emotional tension. The use of bold shadows makes the composition almost dramatic and at the same time alienating. The women in costume lying on cloths and the Virgin in ecstasy convey a thoughtful and complex organization of space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"Corpo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Avenir Next LT Pro',sans-serif;\"\u003eFrancesco Tomei\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eBorn in Rome, where he lives and works, he graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts.
