Matthew Pinkus Fine Art

Welcome To My Online Gallery & Art Blog

With distinctive brushwork and a unique color palette, Matthew Pinkus transforms Arizona's iconic desertscapes—from prickly pears to vast vistas—into vivid, expressive oil paintings. His work conveys the mood and spirit he finds in the southwest, balancing dusty warm tones against boundless blue skies.

Matthew creates from his home studio in Mesa, Arizona, where he lives with his wife, dogs and cat.


What I Love To Paint

Prickly Pears, Desert Flora, Southwestern Landscapes & More

Beautiful, unpredictable, and somewhat alien, the prickly pear appears throughout my work as a symbol of the Southwest’s resilience and vivaciousness. Also, I just think they're neat!
