There are some paintings or artistic products what are nice but simple. They are perfect decorations in your room but not more than decorations. You don’t stop in front of them asking why this or that part was painted in that way, what is the meaning of the whole picture or a little detail.
Matthias Kamper’s paintings are definitely not only decorations. They give you enough to think about…
In general you can say they are very dynamic, colourful and organic, they are full of movements. You feel that he created his own fantasy world with all kind of strange beings and phenomenon.
These pictures tell a lot about their painter whose head is probably always full of ideas and thoughts about life, our world, death, man-woman relationship and the fact that most people are continuously searching their place.

This is one of my favourite because even it is still dynamic these eyes, which are so soft but on the other hand so highlighted on the painting, give a small calmness and balance for the picture. You want to think what is behind of this, why he painted that way?
It is always funny to see (I loved it if I would be a painter) that when you finish a painting and you think you know it in every little piece and in every meaning as you created, then the audience come out with lots of new sense, that you had never thought and discovered before.
This is what I feel with Matthias’ paintings. I am free to interpret them. I can compose my own stories around them just like anybody else. 

If you are interested in Matthias’ world you can do two things. You can go and visit his exhibition at the U.V.H. (Drift 6, Utrecht) which is open from 8 am till 5 pm (till 1st of December) or you can visit his website (http://home.wanadoo.nl/kamper) where there are many paintings. But of course they cannot substitute the real ones so I suggest you to do both:).
