Matias Duarte
Matias Duarte was born in 1972 in Arizona. The son of Mexican
immigrants, Matias was raised in the Phoenix area as one of seven children.
His earliest art influences began in his own front yard, and the desert that
stretched out beyond it. Using form, color and dimension in his art, Matias
brings his own brand of order to chaos.
Matias finds inspiration from much, and from seeing “strangeness” in everyday,
ordinary living. Matias usually explores a visual theme to its fullest, adding or
subtracting with each piece. Working in a manner he finds that, over time, the
look of his paintings change with experimentation and evolution of ideas.
