Grüezi and Hello

My name is Matthias Maier and I am a visual artist based in Basel, Switzerland and New York City.

I make art because it makes me happy and I want to share this happiness with you through my artworks. My work includes painting, photography, cyanotype, screen printing and digital fine art printing as well as collage.

Creativity is a journey, not a destination.

Shaped by life

Many things that look the same at first glance are not. Individualism and diversity are a basic principle of our world order. Anyone who goes through life with open eyes can recognize this everywhere.

Above the November gray

There are weeks when the days flow slowly and sluggishly, like the November fog in the valleys of Switzerland. Knowing that there is sunshine above makes the gray moments easier.
