Matt Payne is an up-and-coming Auckland painter and mosaic artist whose work is quickly gaining a significant following in the New Zealand art world.

Much of Matt’s work is inspired by a love of New Zealand’s landscapes and coastlines, which is reflected in dramatic compositions and depicted with vivid colour and extraordinary attention to detail. He has a fascination with the relationship between colour, light and form and how these are perceived by the eye. Matt approaches these elements as if working with a code, aiming always to capture the essence of whatever it is he is painting, whether that is an emotion, a feeling or a mood.

Matt Payne’s awe-inspiring paintings are set to be exhibited—so it’s time to get the word out to his engaged Mailchimp audience!
