Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Board Size: 20" x 16" Date: 2025 Inspired by the London Docklands, this painting captures the dialogue between history, nature, and modern ambition. The translucent skyline rises like a mirage against the restless blue sky, evoking both the power and fragility of human achievement. A dense, shadowed thicket cuts across the canvas, a reminder of nature’s enduring presence amidst the built environment. In the foreground, pale, stone-like forms suggest traces of the past, echoes of industry, memory, and lives once rooted in this place. By layering sky, city, and earth, the composition reflects on the Docklands as a site of transformation: from maritime heritage to financial hub, from forgotten ground to soaring glass towers. It is a meditation on what is gained, what is lost, and what remains between the shadows and the sky.

Medium: Acrylic on stretched canvas Size;: 24" x 18" Date:  2023 Artist: Matthew Medupin In this abstract composition, the home emerges as a sacred space, a cradle of love, shelter, and belonging. Within its walls, hearts connect, spirits embrace, and peace takes flight like birds in motion. Flowing streams and living trees remind us that the home is both nourishment and renewal, a place where generations are rooted and futures are shaped. Through vibrant colours and symbolic forms, the artist affirms a timeless truth: the home is the bedrock of family, the seed of community, and the great pillar upon which a flourishing society stands.

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Board Size: 20" x 16" Date: 2025 Artist: Matthew Medupin “The Way of the Magi” captures the timeless journey of the three Wise Men as they followed the guiding star across the silent hills toward Bethlehem. The layered colours of the night sky, shifting from deep blue into the glow of dawn, symbolise both mystery and revelation. The silhouettes of the Magi on their camels evoke a sense of movement, faith, and purpose, while the distant town suggests the promise of arrival and fulfillment. This work is not only a reflection on the biblical nativity story but also a meditation on journeys of faith, hope, and perseverance that continue to guide us through the darkness toward light.

Can we ever know, as a matter of fact, whether inanimate objects such as stones think or exist in their own God-designed way? From a scientific standpoint, the answer is clear: stones do not think. They have no consciousness, no brain, no nervous system. They are matter shaped by natural forces—time, pressure, heat, and erosion. Their “story” is written in their structure and age, not in thoughts. Yet, from a spiritual or metaphysical perspective, the question opens another dimension. Many traditions believe that every part of creation carries within it a spark of divine order. In this sense, a stone may not think as humans do, but it embodies God’s design simply by being what it is—solid, enduring, and faithful to its nature. Its stillness, weight, and permanence might be seen as its form of expression, its silent testimony to the Creator. Perhaps, then, the mystery lies not in whether stones think, but in whether we can learn to listen differently—to see meaning in their ...

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Board Size: 16" x 12" Date: 2025 Artist: Matthew Medupin  In this an impressionist composition of the Yoruba goddess of water, Iyemọja emerging from the restless sea at sunset. Painted as a silhouette, she embodies both mystery and majesty raising her arm blessing, invocating in union with the divine. The fiery orange sky contrasts with the deep, textured blues of the ocean, evoking the eternal union of water and sky. Iyemọja is revered as a protector, mother, and source of life, here she is being depicted not in detail but as a timeless essence, part of the waves, part of the horizon and part of the unseen forces that sustain existence. The impressionist brushwork captures her as a fleeting vision, a spiritual presence caught between the visible and the mystical. This work celebrates the sacred feminine power of water and the enduring resonance of Yoruba cosmology, reimagined through an impressionist lens...

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 30" x 24" Date: 2025 In this painting, the great baobab rises like a guardian of the land, its vast trunk anchoring it firmly in time and memory. Known across Africa as the Tree of Life, the baobab provides food, shelter, and shade to countless living beings, standing as a silent witness to generations that have come and gone. Its branches stretch outward like open arms, clothed in a crown of green that seems to whisper with the wind. Above, birds circle in freedom, while the pale moon casts a gentle glow, hinting at the eternal rhythm of day and night, life and renewal. Beneath the tree, the silhouettes of animals gather: a monkey perched playfully on a branch, a lioness moving with quiet strength, and a giraffe stretching its neck toward the sky. Together, they embody the harmony of creation, all finding refuge around the baobab’s enduring presence. This is not just a tree, but a living symbol of resilience, connection, and ...
