Matthew Bauzon

A civil engineer, Matthew has been incorporating art into his life. To help establish his signature art, he uses a diverse approach by mixing pencil, pen, acrylic, and oil. He aims not only to illustrate but also to evoke different emotions from a more in-depth perspective.

Q&A with Matthew Bauzon

  • Why do you create art?

    I make art to create something that people or even an individual may relate to emotionally.

  • What does your art aim to say?

    My art portrays an emotion that people can relate to.

  • Why do you make this type of art?

    My art style involves the use of pencil, which is one of the most accessible mediums. I will then mix pencil with acrylic and oil in an abstract style--not to put colors on the subject but to incorporate the theme.

  • How do you make it?

    My inspiration is the emotions I wish to portray. I try to find the right word and a suitable model to do so. Once settled, I start by drawing the reference, trying to capture the theme. Once the portrait is done, I incorporate additional “tattoos” and “symbols” with their specific meanings to strengthen the work. Then finally, the abstraction would solidify the emotion and the entirety of the art piece.

  • What were some of the challenges you faced as an artist?

    Like most artists, some of the challenges would eventually be a lack of inspiration and sometimes a lack of motivation. But the important thing to remember, in times like these, is one’s true love in making art. Through undying passion and effort, one can overcome challenges.
