About Me

Image of the artist Matthew Koehler

I am a contemporary artist who specializes in still life oil paintings. Born in Pennsylvania, I received a Bachelors degree in Art History from the University of Maine in 2024. My work is mostly influenced by the still life paintings from the Baroque period and I try to capture a similar style and color in my own work. I have exhibited my work in multiple juried art shows on the east coast including the 2022 Bowery Gallery Juried art show, and the 2023 Cape Cod National Juried art show.

“My art speaks for itself and it does not seek to convey a specific message: I wish to only offer a pleasurable experience for viewers. I want my art to be enjoyed for its beauty and complexity, and allow viewers to take away from it whatever resonates with them personally. My goal is to create an engaging experience without the need for interpretation”
