Biography
Dmitri Matkovsky is Canadian abstractionist, an artist synesthetes*, Abstract Expressionist. He lives and works in Toronto, Ontario.
After retiring early from a 25 years career in rock music with «Auktyon» and other bands he began as a acrylicist and was strongly influenced by Gerhard Richter, who was his first Teacher for the short period of time in 1991.
Style: Abstract Expressionism. Why?
Because of emotions. It’s all at this particular moment. All your life. It’s like a music improvisation. You need to say explain all life in one moment, in one phrase, in one white square…
I love paint and I love colors, and I love white canvas. I like even prepare canvas for painting, I just love to be an artist.
When I’m painting I feel like a marathon runner dying to reach the finish line. I feel like the mountain climber whose single driving goal is to reach the peak. I want to succeed. To win.
I feel liberated when create art. First, because I can escape this reality, and second, because I can produce something that is influence on somebody’s mood or state of mind. And I like it.
His paintings have been sold to offices, shops and private residences in USA, Canada, France, Germany etc. Up until now in 18 countries.
Дмитрий Матковский — художник-синестет. В психологии существует понятие «синестезии», особого способа восприятия действительности, когда информация, полученная определёнными органами чувств, приобретает дополнительное качественное значение. Дмитрий Матковский, в свою очередь, имеет «цветовой слух». Художник воспринимает звуки через цвет, а свои работы называет «музыкой на холсте».
Убедиться в особенности своих ощущений автору выпал шанс довольно рано: его школьная группа, «Мануфактура», стала победителем первого Ленинградского Рок-фестиваля, после чего он 10 лет играл в составе «АукцЫона»
Оказавшись в Канаде в 2001 г. ДМ полностью отдался миру живописи. 10 лет жизни в Сев. Америке оформили его как профессионала в области изобразительного искусства, заставили говорить о нем в мире галерейного бизнеса. За это время Более 240 работ ДМ были куплены частными коллекционерами и музеями Америки, Европы и Японии.
В настоящий момент Дмитрий Матковский продолжает заниматься живописью, 3D анимацией, дизайном, музыкой, йогой, а также публицистическим творчеством.

Родился в Ленинграде...
Родился в Ленинграде, жил до 2001 в Ст.Петербурге, но переехал в канадский Торонто. Получил два технически дизайнерских образования в "холодильнике" и "мухе", записал 13 альбомов своей и чужой музыки с "Аукцыоном", "Мануфактурой" и др., был крещен Хвостом с Волохонской, прожил 3 месяца в Индийском ашраме, где научился хатха йоге и с тех пор приподает ее по миру, написал ряд "смешных" рассказов о жизни в роке, а теперь льет краску на холсты.
На его музыку сняты два клипа, его картины в лучших музеях мира, его снимают в фильмах про хатха йогу и плаванью на каноэ. Любит тишину и кошек. И чтобы "музыка была сьедобна".
Все так запутанно в его жизни!

Although our life seems so angular and sharp, in fact is so fragile and gentle!
It can give everyone so much tenderness and goodness!
Take it all. Take as much as you can carry with you ...
Where to?
Наша жизнь хотя и кажется столь угловатой и резкой, на самом деле - столь хрупка и нежна!
Она может подарить каждому столько нежности и добра!
Возьми все это. Возьми столько, сколько сможешь унести с собою...
Куда?
