About the Item
This painting builds on Higgins’ Slow Down series, which began in 2021. Through an ongoing exploration of the relationship between text and image, Higgins creates works that communicate directly with the viewer—offering messages that serve as reflections, philosophies, or open-ended prompts intended to foster connection.
Crafted with both acrylic and oil on canvas, the background sky was painted first using broad acrylic brushstrokes. The flower, rendered with a naturalistic touch that avoids overworking, and the text overlay were applied using oil paint. The soft, serene color palette evokes a sense of calm and invitation, encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their environment amidst the overstimulation of modern life.
The painting is signed on the back.

Matt Higgins is an artist and art professor who lives and works in Philadelphia, Pa. He received his MFA from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and BFA from West Chester University. His work is included in numerous private and public collections throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. His various bodies of work focus on themes of abstraction, the landscape and text based paintings. His work can be viewed as a constant progression, as well as a cycle from one body of work to the next. He often times returns to existing themes or motifs with a fresh outlook after departing for periods of time. Growth and learning is a significant part of the artists practice and this continued openness and exploration is what keeps his work fresh and original from one body of work to the next, never settling for predictability or the mundane.
