About the Item

This painting is part of the artists' Paradise series, an ongoing project that began in 2021. Several works from the series were recently exhibited during Miami Art Week 2024 in collaboration with the artist's gallery. Created with acrylic paint on a custom wood panel, the piece employs a palette of black and tan to depict a dynamic landscape rich with energy and expressive language. A recurring motif in the series, this painting features a palm tree, waves, and clouds. The palm tree—a universal symbol of paradise, relaxation, and peace—stands in contrast to the text incorporated into the work. The text reflects themes of universal harmony, utopian and utilitarian philosophy, and the aspiration for a world where human needs are universally met. It embodies a hope for humanity to transcend its primitive, destructive tendencies and evolve toward a more peaceful existence. Matt Higgins b. 1987 is an artist and art professor who lives and works in Philadelphia, Pa. He maintains a regular studio practice in the Fishtown neighborhood focusing on painting in a variety of styles and bodies of work. His work is included in numerous private collections and has been included in a wide range of interior design projects including residential properties, corporations, and hotels
