Let the characters you love live on — in bold lines and brilliant color.
A Celebration of Color, Reflection, and Canal Life
There is no sight more iconic — and more deeply charming — than the historic canal houses of Amsterdam reflected in the shimmering water. In “Canal of Amsterdam – Colored Houses and Three Boats”, Mathias transforms this classic scene into a vibrant celebration of color, movement, and memory.
At the heart of the composition stand the famous gabled buildings — tall, leaning, full of character — each adorned in its own palette of deep greens, sunny yellows, warm terracottas, and bold reds. Their reflections ripple softly across the canal, connecting past and present with every brushstroke. Below, three boats rest gently on the water, suggesting both calm and quiet rhythm. They anchor the viewer, offering a sense of intimacy within the wider cityscape.
Painted in Mathias’s expressive acrylic style, this work pulses with his signature dynamic linework and joyful chaos. The white strokes that define forms seem to vibrate with energy, as if capturing not just what is seen — but what is felt when standing beside an Amsterdam canal.
Whether you know the city well or dream of walking its cobblestones for the first time, this painting offers a window into its essence. It’s more than a view — it’s an experience. One that speaks of history and harmony, bikes and bridges, water and wonder.

Some cars are more than machines — they are icons, symbols of freedom, and rolling pieces of design history. In the INKOGRAPHY | LEGENDARY CARS collection, Mathias takes these classic vehicles and reimagines them through his bold, expressive visual language.

The result? Vibrant, emotional, and utterly unique works — perfect for lovers of vintage culture, automotive history, and contemporary design.
At the heart of this collection are three legends of the road:
VW BUS – More than a van, it’s a symbol of travel, youth, and artistic rebellion. In Mathias’s work, it explodes with color and movement, transformed into a joyful celebration of freedom.
VW BEETLE – Iconic in its round form and endless charm, the Beetle appears in playful compositions that echo nostalgia and whimsy. It’s not just a car — it’s a character.
CITROËN 2CV – The “ugly duckling” turned design classic. Mathias captures its quirky silhouette with loving detail, setting it against expressive backdrops that give it unexpected elegance.

Where Light Paints the City
There are cities that speak in whispers — and then there is Utrecht, a place that sings through light and architecture. In “Utrecht – Stadhuisbrug”, Mathias captures not only the physical beauty of one of the Netherlands’ most charming cities, but also the vibrant energy that pulses through its heart.
Dominating the composition is the iconic Dom Tower, rising proudly into a swirl of expressive skies. But this is no static postcard. The entire canvas hums with life. Electric blues, passionate purples, and flashes of warm yellow and pink create a symphony of motion — as if the buildings themselves are alive, swaying slightly to the rhythm of the city.
The Stadhuisbrug (City Hall Bridge) becomes more than a location — it’s a meeting point of time, people, and light. You can almost hear the chatter of café terraces, the echo of bicycle wheels over cobblestones, the hush of twilight settling on medieval façades.
Painted in acrylic with Mathias’s unmistakable linework, this original piece turns Utrecht into a dream — stylized, emotive, and unforgettable. It's perfect for those who’ve walked those streets and left a part of themselves behind... or for those who long to go.
“Utrecht – Stadhuisbrug” isn’t just a view — it’s a feeling framed in color. A tribute to the beauty of everyday city life, and a celebration of Dutch urban charm in its most expressive form.

Bring a piece of Utrecht into your home — bold, vibrant, and full of life.
There’s something timeless in the Dutch countryside — a harmony between water, sky, and land that soothes the soul. In “Netherlands Impression – Red Boat and Windmill”, Mathias captures not just the landscape, but the feeling it gives you — that deep breath you take when the world slows down.
At first glance, the scene is familiar: a windmill standing proud against the golden sky, a canal quietly reflecting the colors of the sunset, and a red boat resting peacefully on the water’s edge. But this isn’t a photograph — it’s a dream. A vibrant, expressive interpretation of the Netherlands through the artist’s emotional lens.
The brushstrokes are loose, flowing, and full of life. The tulips in the foreground dance with joy. The houses glow like memories. The sky burns with colors that never quite exist in real life — and yet feel more real than reality. This is the power of Mathias’s work: it doesn’t copy the world, it reimagines it.
Whether you’ve wandered through Dutch tulip fields or only dreamed of it, this painting pulls you in. It invites you to step into the boat, float across the canvas, and feel the moment — a stillness that sings.
Perfect for interiors craving both color and calm, this artwork is a poetic tribute to the Dutch spirit: open, gentle, and endlessly alive.
Where Color Meets Reflection
There’s a certain kind of magic that only Amsterdam’s canals can offer. It’s not just in the architecture or the water — it’s in the feeling the city gives you when you stand by the edge of a bridge at sunset, watching a boat pass slowly by. That’s exactly the moment captured in “Canal of Amsterdam – Red Boat”, an expressive and colorful original painting by Mathias.
In this piece, the city is alive with motion. A crimson boat glides gently down the canal, echoing the hues of a warm, painted sky. The facades of the gabled houses lean in as if listening to the hush of the water, each window glowing with color and character. The bridge arches calmly across the scene, connecting both sides of the city — and of the painting.
Mathias’s signature expressive linework transforms the calm into rhythm. Nothing is static — not the water, not the buildings, not the sky. It’s Amsterdam in motion, vibrating with life and light. The colors are bold yet tender, romantic yet raw, invoking both the city’s timelessness and its daily buzz.
The red boat isn’t just a visual anchor — it’s a symbol. A moment in time. A memory in transit. It invites the viewer to step aboard, to wander not only through the painting, but through their own recollections or dreams of Amsterdam.
Perfect for lovers of travel, urban art, or the poetic in everyday life, this artwork brings the charm of the Dutch capital into any space. Whether you’ve strolled these canals yourself or long to do so one day, “Canal of Amsterdam – Red Boat” offers a piece of that experience — captured not in photograph, but in feeling.

and take home a piece of Dutch soul.
There’s something disarmingly tender about Little Rhino. In this vibrant and emotionally charged painting by Mathias, a young rhinoceros takes center stage — not as a symbol of brute force, but as a creature of curiosity, innocence, and quiet strength.
With his signature expressive lines and bold color contrasts, Mathias brings to life an animal we rarely see in such a gentle light. The background shimmers with a clash of deep blues, radiant yellows, and electric pinks — echoing both the wild beauty of nature and the fragile chaos that surrounds endangered species like the rhinoceros. The lines swirl, break, and reform, capturing a world that never quite stands still.
The rhino itself, though small in name, stands proud. Wide-eyed, almost cautious, it invites you to come closer — to look beyond the horn, beyond the armor, and see the living soul inside. It’s a portrait of silent resilience. A reminder that even those who look powerful on the outside may carry the weight of survival on the inside.
“Little Rhino” is not just a painting. It’s a statement. A moment of pause in a noisy world. It’s a tribute to animals on the brink, to those who protect them, and to those who simply care.
This piece is part of Mathias’s acclaimed Animal Collection, which celebrates wildlife not as decorative subjects, but as emotional beings full of stories. With each line and layer of color, the artist builds a bridge between viewer and creature — making the connection deeply personal.
Perfect for collectors who believe art should move you — not just visually, but spiritually. Little Rhino brings color, soul, and an unspoken call for empathy into any space.

A celebration of color, rhythm, and city life
The city of Amsterdam is full of rhythms. The gentle flow of canals, the clinking of bike chains, the sharp angles of gabled houses — all of it weaves together into one continuous, living painting. And on this canvas, Mathias captures the spirit of the city with his unmistakable signature: expressive lines, vibrant tones, and the pulse of a moment frozen in movement.
“Street of Amsterdam – Red Bike” is more than just a street view. It’s a story. A red bicycle rests in the foreground, almost glowing with its energy. Behind it, the facades of historic Dutch houses rise like colorful characters — bold, leaning slightly, as if in mid-conversation. A lantern hovers above, marking this as a moment suspended in time, glowing with nostalgia and light.
Mathias’s brushwork is anything but still. With each sweeping curve and controlled chaos, he brings Amsterdam to life — not as it looks on a postcard, but as it feels in your chest on a breezy afternoon ride. The background blurs and dances in bright hues of blue, pink, and emerald green, echoing the city's playful complexity.

This is no ordinary still life, but a swirling bouquet of energy where every bloom seems to move to its own rhythm. Vibrating lines, bold brushstrokes, and vivid colors make the painting come alive – drawing us into its pulsing, expressive world.
The artist, known for his emotional, energetic style, doesn’t aim to imitate reality. He interprets it – intuitively and with feeling, using his signature trembling lines that fans of his work instantly recognize. These sunflowers have personality – they’re cheeky, animated, maybe even a bit wild. They don’t stand still – they sway, spin, and dance.
The deep red vase grounds the composition with a bold anchor, adding weight and contrast. The background, on the other hand, is a free flow of pastels and movement – abstract, spontaneous, and full of emotion. It's not just a background – it's the atmosphere, the breath of the painting.
The piece was born on a summer afternoon, right after Mathias visited Amsterdam’s flower market. Instead of the usual tulips, it was the sunflowers that caught his eye – radiant, open, and full of life. “They looked like they wanted to dance,” the artist recalls. “I just helped them find the rhythm.”
This painting shines in bright, spacious interiors – a living room, a studio, a sunlit dining area. It brings with it a daily dose of joy, color, and warmth. It’s not just a decorative piece – it’s a mood, an energy, a presence.
If you’re looking for art that tells a story and radiates life, Sunflowers in a Red-Blue Vase might just be the perfect piece to brighten your world.
