Copa: At what time did you get absorbed into your painting?
Matthew: I started creating my liquid acrylic landscapes and abstracts in 2018. I envisioned a new expressionist style, utilizing the natural serpentine patterns that this medium can achieve. My inspiration comes from advancing my technique, uncovering, for the world, landscapes made with liquid patterns. It's the most beautiful, ethereal, natural painting style.
