Artist Statement
​
I am Matthew G. Beall, an American abstract painter living in Europe.
​
As an abstract painter, I seek to capture the essence of movement, energy, and emotion in my work. My pieces are not just static images on canvas or paper but dynamic visual stories that invite the viewer to become a part of the experience. Using a bold but limited palette and sweeping gestural strokes, I aim to create a sense of excitement and adventure that speaks to you, the viewer.
​
My work is not bound by convention but rather is a reflection of my own personal journey as an artist. I believe that art should be a means of exploring and expressing the depths of our own being and that each piece I create is a testament to that belief. Whether through the use of abstract forms or incorporating everyday objects and textures, I strive to bring a sense of vitality and relevance to my work.
​
Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to inspire and captivate my audience, to transport them on a thrilling artistic journey that leaves them changed and transformed. I am constantly exploring new techniques and mediums, always seeking to push the boundaries of what is possible in abstract painting. So join me on this exciting adventure, and let my dynamic visual stories leave you breathless and inspired
