Born in Transylvania in a well-known family with roots going back centuries, all the way to 1204, as one of the founders of the 'Despotate of Epirus,' the author has been drawn to the Ancient Esoteric Teachings since childhood. He learned and practiced by himself what he could grasp from a diverse, sometimes disparate, yet highly controversial range of masters such as Helena P Blavatsky, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Rudolf Steiner, and even Piet Mondrian, the great Dutch painter.
Eventually, Eugene Matzota’s own writings were published and dully noticed - since 1997 he has been accepted as a full member of the International Theosophical Society, India.
During the past 20 years, he has published a number of four books on Theosophy and he is now busy at work on what he believes is his most important contribution.
Eugene Matzota founded his first newspaper in early 1990.
Since then, he has published hundreds or thousands of articles and held senior positions in many publications, most recently ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE, which he also founded.
Over the past 25 years he has created many illustrations for the publications he has edited, as well as separate creations, using over 30 years of computer experience.
His newest focus is creative work alongside AI, trying to overcome human and artificial barriers...
Some of his creations are presented here.

Since I was young I tried to find a way to overcome the craftsman's part of the artist work, because much part of a sculpture's creation, for example, is pure hard work in stone.
In my opinion, the artist should only think how to find the better way to send his message to the viewer and in the last years the computer came with the tools needed to overcome these impediments.
When you look around you see in nature, the only world where we have access, endless and continuing changing forms. How can I better represent all I see with than using the infinite capabilities of today's technologies?
Nature had derived from abstraction, from the most profound expression of Darkness, so I think that the art is not necessarily a reflection of nature as we may see it, it's a reflection of the Creation.
In my paintings I am trying to reveal the hidden feelings in the viewer mind, I am not offering answers, but questions to be raised, because everybody has a unique path to Heaven. It's like everybody's looking in the same mirror, but see different things, because it's his own unique mirror.
My studies in the philosophy of religions helped me to understand that trying to find the Final Truth it's a long journey that finally leads nowhere but to ourselves. So, all I want is that anyone who sees my paintings finds himself there, with all his questions.
Moreover, if, through my paintings, I might be able to help him find his Inner Soul, that means that I have done my job and I can be happy for him.
