Matt Higgins
Cosmic Blossoms, Contemporary Landscape Painting

2025

About the Item

Cosmic Blossoms is a vibrant and expressive oil painting that continues the artist’s ongoing exploration of floral, plant life and landscape motifs set against surreal, dreamlike landscapes. Boldly rendered with thick, impasto strokes, the painting features four vividly colored flowers—yellow, orange, blue, and lavender—each with bright yellow or red centers, radiating a strong sense of individuality and energy. Set against a stark black sky scattered with small, celestial dots and a prominent pink moon, the flowers appear to bloom in an otherworldly, cosmic setting. The contrast between the luminous flowers and the dark background heightens their intensity and gives the scene a mystical, almost theatrical atmosphere. Beneath the floating blooms, the ground is a richly textured patchwork of red, yellow, green, and white. These vivid horizontal bands of color evoke a stylized landscape, grounding the composition while reinforcing the painting’s vibrant dynamism. The artist's use of oil paint is generous and tactile, emphasizing the materiality of the medium. Layers of thick pigment create depth and texture, while the abstract, gestural application adds emotional weight and visual rhythm to the piece. This work is ultimately a compelling fusion of design and expression—a homage to nature reimagined through a cosmic lens, inviting viewers into a world where earthly beauty meets the unknown. Matt Higgins b. 1987 is both an artist and an art professor based in Philadelphia, PA. He engages in a consistent studio practice, with a primary focus on painting across various bodies of work. He received his BFA from West Chester University in 2011 and his MFA from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2017. As well as maintaining a regular studio practice, he teaches at a few schools in the area including Drexel University, Delaware County Community College and Moore College of Art and Design. His art is included in numerous private collections and has been featured in a diverse range of interior design projects, spanning residential properties, corporations, and hotels. Both his home and studio are located in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, where he lives with his wife and son.
