Known worldwide for his realistic portrait paintings, Matthew references original photography to create a unique painting that captures the essence of the people he paints with extraordinary care and integrity. In collaboration with the client, he will reach agreement on the composition, lighting and colour palette prior to painting the portrait in his studio. He likes to work with clients directly as this allows him to capture and paint a portrait that represents the subject as beautifully as possible. Rarely do we see an artist who has the ability to combine such technical skill with such a keenly felt sense of the person or people he paints.
