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.

Another cold and the start of fall

Another cold, albeit much milder than two weeks ago, has largely thwarted my plans for this week. There’s nothing you can do about it, even if it feels extremely unfair when it happens again during this precious time for me in New York.

Everything that makes summer in New York in one week. From surprising moments on the beach to productive days in the city. It’s my perfect birthday week!
