Originals
Painted to your size
Made to Size
Mateowill paint a new original at the size you choose. Each piece is a one-of-one, marked as an Artist's Variant on its COA.
How Mateo works
Acrylic lets me move quickly, so I usually block in the whole composition on day one. After that it's glazing and refinement — I'll spend days adjusting a single transition. The piece isn't done until the colour temperature reads correctly from across the room.
