Referencing traditional iconographic painting,Matro's compositions balance colour and perspective with great fluidity. His technique challenges our expectations regarding the medium. Elevating the act of creation to a holistic paradigm, each canvas becomes stage to a whirling display of visual effects, sublimated by a brilliant use of both synthetic and organic components. Acrylic, oil pastel, spray paint, siphoned sand and plaster, are layered in, using a brush, a palette knife or simply fingers, before scraping them off, as if to better emphasise the meaning of the work and reinforce its interaction within a three-dimensional space.
