Matthew G. Beall was born and raised in California, along the coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is a self-taught artist, poring over his grandfather’s art books and drawing for hours as a child, and studying and deconstructing paintings, sculpture drawings and photographs in the museums and contemporary galleries of Europe and America today.

Matthew’s introduction to the relationship of colors and tones to each other, and to design, came on the steel of car bodies in California’s auto body shops, where he painted and customized graphic and abstract designs. He learned about mixing, toning, layering, shading, grinding, fading, blending and contrasting colors, skills that allow him to express himself with depth and beauty on paper and canvas today.

The artist, who speaks German, traveled and worked extensively in Mexico and Central America in the 1990’s before moving to Europe. Today, he travels extensively throughout Europe and the United States. Over the years he has participated in both group and solo exhibitions as well as artist residencies in New York.
