Matthew’s Personal Works: Raw Reflections in a Fragmented World

Drawing from Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, Matthew’s oil paintings explore the subconscious through raw mark-making and layered imagery. In an era of relentless stimulation and disconnection, his work offers a moment of pause—a reflective space that unveils the deep, often unspoken emotions beneath the surface.

Rooted in the surrealist practice of automatic painting, his art becomes an intimate diary of a journey shaped by the absence of a strong paternal presence. Without the conventional framework of mature masculine guidance, Matthew’s work embodies the struggle—and the promise—to redefine identity and resilience. Each brushstroke is a mark of faith into learning and accepting the ever-changing understanding of our emotions, inviting a journey toward true authenticity within the self and a loving care for your inner child.

In a world that demands constant performance, his paintings invite viewers to explore their inner landscapes and embrace what it means to be truly present, authentic, and connected.

Figurative Practice

Matthew’s painting practice is deeply rooted in the human figure, using it as both a technical foundation and an emotional gateway. His approach begins with an analytical study of form, refining his understanding of light, shadow, and anatomy. This disciplined training sharpens the tools necessary to express depth, movement, and mood with precision.

From this foundation, he shifts into a more intuitive state, allowing expression to override structure. The figure becomes a vessel for raw emotion, where abstraction and distortion emerge naturally, mirroring the fluidity of internal states. By merging classical observation with instinctive mark-making, he explores the tension between control and surrender—seeking a space where both approaches meet in harmony.

Through this balance, Matthew’s figurative work becomes a direct channel for visceral storytelling, capturing the body not only as a form but as an extension of psychological and emotional depth.
