Say hello to Mateo.

Working under the name MATEO is allowing me the freedom to explore and expand my creative evolution. I’m giving myself permission to experiment - to unlearn, rebuild and expand the ways I create and see.

CYANOTILES

Through my exploration of alternative photography processes I have innovated a 14-step process to create sculptural reproductions of images by exposing them directly onto ceramic tiles and creating large scale pieces.

Prints and 3D pieces available to purchase in the Store.

Open to commissions.
