Welcome to my Online Gallery!

With distinctive brushwork and a unique palette, Matthew Pinkus transforms Arizona's iconic desertscapes—from prickly pears to vast vistas—into vivid, expressive oil paintings. His work conveys the profound mood and spirit he finds in the desert, balancing dusty warm tones against boundless blue skies.

Matthew creates from his home studio in Mesa, Arizona, where he lives with his wife, dogs and cat.

Bold and beautiful (and somewhat alien), the prickly pear appears throughout my work as a symbol of the Southwest’s strength and resilience. Also, I just think they're neat!. View More
