Live YOUR Life

Having explored a bit of all 7 continents and every US state, meeting captivating artists and fascinating individuals from the busy streets in Paris to the complete isolation of Antarctica, its clear to see in Matthew Focht's work that he has been influenced by the world. 

While cultures, art, and cuisine varied tremendously around the world, one common theme remained true: Matthew realized that most people are sadly living the life expected of them by friends, family, and society. Whether you are fortunate enough to own of a piece of his art or enjoy visiting locations where its displayed, Matthew hopes you find inspiration to Live YOUR Life, rather than the one expected of you.

Matthew Focht says his art is not just a reflection of himself, but more about his subject, the emotions he seeks to arouse, and the desires of his collectors. In a society where people's lives are an open book, Matthew chooses to keep much to himself. His styles and techniques may remain a mystery yet his encouraging words for the world remain evident in each piece of art he creates:

Create. Love. Share. Learn. Express. Live.
