Matthew Fentem is an artist and architect. He was born and raised in England, he moved to Denmark to study architecture and after finishing his studies moved to Oslo in 2018 to work as an architect and be closer to nature, the mountains and wilderness. Matthew has always had a passion for art and the creative. He painted and drew growing up and cultivated his art at school in England. After completing his exams, there was a choice between studying Architecture and further studies as an artist, where Architecture came out on top. While studying architecture, painting was partly sidelined but kept the same. The joy of painting was gradually rediscovered after completing his studies culminating in a serious resumption in 2021. Slowly but surely, more and more focus was placed on painting through a mi of individual projects and commissioned works, an effort that resulted in his first exhibition 'ONISM' in December 2023.
 A great passion for nature and outdoor life helps inform and inspire the works, where Matthew uses paint to recreate and convey experiences and atmospheres from the wilderness.
