Fine Art, Filmmaking & Other Stuff
Matt Abraxas is a fine artist, filmmaker and creative experimenter.
This site used to be dedicated to my fine art, but after 20 years, I felt overwhelmingly limited by the paintbrush.
I missed my other passion: the camera.
So now, MattAbraxas.com is now home to my fine art, filmmaking and other creative endeavors that offer a more well-rounded expression of what I have to offer.
I hope you find plenty to enjoy here.

“An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it (all of it: the work, the process, the feedback from those we seek to connect with) personally.
Art isn’t a result; it’s a journey. The challenge of our time is to find a journey worthy of your heart and your soul.”
Being a Successful Artist
When I see work by my favorite artists, I am seeing my own potential. Perhaps I will never realize this potential, but I nevertheless am inspired by what is already within me. I wonder if it's this way for everybody. We see what we could do if we only overcame whatever limitations are in us, and we feel a zesty excitement.

Improvement
Lately, my aim with painting is simply to improve. I look over the body of my work and see nice pictures, some more than others, but I am feeling an intense eagerness to improve...
