As self-taught artist, Matthew approaches painting instinctively, allowing his work to unfold without a predetermined framework. His process is physical and immersive—moving around the canvas laid on the floor, applying paint with his hands, brushes, and unconventional tools. By leaving his paintings Untitled, he invites viewers to connect freely, without imposed interpretation.
Music is integral to his creative process, shaping the rhythm and energy of his compositions. With a background as a recording artist, sound and movement inform his dynamic approach, bringing visual and auditory expression together.
“What appears on the canvas is the result of free-flowing movement; I go around the linen on the floor and mostly use just my hands. I work with a mix of energy and focused composure. Every detail should feel ‘right’ but the composition must never feel restrained.”
