After graduating from Dong-Kook University with a degree in philosophy, he strived to incorporate his heritage and education into his artwork. Since graduating from university, Van Matino has received many prizes for his paintings including the grand prize for the Korean Arts Grand Exhibition in 1979, as well as the Golden Prize for the MBC Grand Art Exhibition in 1980. By his early twenties, he had already become a well-known member of the local art scene. Van Matino takes everyday objects and elements of nature to create striking compositions. From the artist?s perspective, his oil paintings strive to display harmony. From contemporary landscapes and modern seascapes, to vivid floral paintings, he beautifully balances the composition to place light and shadow against a simple, yet rich palette. The combination creates a unified whole; sometimes whimsical, sometimes intense, and sometimes serene. His color pallet consists of jewel tone and his technique involves the use of pallet knife work with thick brushstrokes and of paint on the canvas. This adds a tremendous amount of depth to his original oil paintings. Condition: good
