Artist Statement

Matthias has been working within the arts all his life in various
aspects. His goal is to integrate painting, music, film, photography,
and narrative cohesively, while drawing from life, dreams, symbols,
myth, philosophy and psychology.

Lupri grew up in the wilds of Alberta, Canada with a wonderstruck
fascination of nature, flight, arts, and mythical dreams. After years
of studying music, releasing six CD’s of original music and touring
internationally, he discovered the parallel symbiosis of painting to
music, and started quickly in a new direction. After many years now as a
palette knife oil painter, Matthias has been steadily putting out
various series of paintings, showing at galleries, and selling his
work internationally.

“In a general reflection on my art and life, I feel that the
unconscious and conscious landscape hemispheres collide creating
positive and negative tension within our lives. The unconscious has an
existence of time immemorial within your myth, while our conscious
life ego awakes daily to a fresh new day. So I question; How do we
exist through these our entire lives, shaping us toward the past,
present and future as one totality? In which way does the essence of
it all give meaning to who we are and contribute to our interactions
with each other, our earth and universe?

It has been a lifelong search and journey revealing my art through
these philosophical and psychological constructs. Art that coexists
and works in conjunction with these constructs and with each other:
painting, music, poetry, photography, film and narrative. The
landscape hemispheres and archetypes create new paths to follow and
show themselves as personal empirical motifs within the art
abstractly. They prove to be part of the memory, dream, reflection
symbiosis.
It is all much a mystery and interesting pursuit.”
