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.

Recent Film – Music Video for Mishka “Roots Fidelity”
“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.”

Waterfall in Shadow
The waterfall was a challenge. I didn't have a clear idea of how to handle it, even though I liked my previous study. I painted it about three times before I was ready to move from it and concentrate on the surrounding rock. I worked mostly with horizontal and vertical brush strokes in the water, with a few swipes of my palette knife, and an occasional nudge with my finger. In the end, I like how I captured the movement of the water.
Water and Rocks
I've found a new love: rocks; I can paint them (and water, yes always water) for a long time to come and find endless treasure...
