Matt Griffin
Born and raised in West Auckland, Matthew, delivers realism to the canvas through the eye of a self-taught perfectionist who strives to innovate and develop his skills in his craft. Matthew began his career as a realism charcoal artist where he learnt the importance of light, blending and tones that create foundations for realism art.
Matt is a New Zealand-based realism artist whose work bridges the fine line between lifelike detail and soulful expression.
From his Auckland studio, he brings people and animals to life on canvas, capturing not just their forms but their stories. Each brushstroke reveals subtle textures and glimmers of light, drawing viewers into a quiet, intimate world within the frame.
Known for his skilful technique and his eye for depth, Matt’s work invites a lingering gaze, where the familiar transforms into the profound, creating a visual dialogue that resonates long after the first impression.
