Matthew Smith Energy Art

Matthew Smith's art leads you through various passages of a physical, spiritual and sometimes surreal nature. His understanding of these passages was inspired by the island of Maui where Matthew grew up. The concept of “passage” fits Matthew’s work perfectly. While looking at his unique art, it’s almost like going through tunnels of rich color on a journey of new dimensions, both physical and emotional.

“The colors I choose to use in my work are those I see in my everyday surroundings,” says Smith. “I love the blues of the ocean and sky, the greens of the leaves and the mountains, the reds, pinks, yellows, purples, and oranges of the flowers around me. Colors that look antiqued, ancient earth tones and rusty colors interest me.”

A Matthew Smith painting is one of those special treasures that captivates the viewer for a lifetime. One collector of Matthew’s work said, “His paintings mesmerize the viewer." It is like a friend, a companion that you can sit in front of, just gaze at and feel relief in your soul.
