Beginning at age two, and for over twenty years, artist Matthew Lew has been creating richly textured majestic paintings and photographs, magnifying and clarifying the frequencies of your richest and deepest feelings. Matt's paintings embody his dedication to wellbeing and enhanced "positive feeling states" to all those who come in contact with them. In Matt's own words "All of my work is created with water from around the world. Traveling to many countries, and, living in Spain for three years, further inspired me to bring basic elements of the world into my paintings. I use water from the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, Lake Tahoe, the Kauai waterfalls, and Lourdes France in each of my paintings. Each painting is carefully sculpted and painted with a specific color tone and carefully chosen water. Some paintings also contain organic materials such as: pure gold, silver, platinum, bronze, and copper, as well as grass, lava rock, crystals, and beach sand. Through my paintings I love to create a particular interactive environment. I often use mixed media (painting on my photographs) allowing the elemental forces of the physical world, transforming our internal and external living landscapes that affect our everyday lives. As we walk into a room for the first time, we have an immediate reaction to the surroundings. These natural energies shape the way we feel." Matt's paintings themselves appear to be forever changing and interacting with your own desired "feeling states" throughout the days, and as the seasons, weather, and light changes. The frequencies that resonate from Matt's work strengthens the positive aspects of your own lifeforce as you feel and enjoy the colors and materials layered within the canvases themselves. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Matt for many years watching his work continue to mature and expand. I believe that Matthew Lew is an artist that will be remembered for centuries to come. Luanne Oakes, Ph.D. Author "Sound Health Sound Wealth; The Biology Of Hope & Manifestation"
