Matthew's technique is best described as visceral and jarringly irreverent. His selection of subject matter, use of unorthodox materials, and a natural ability for illustration are the core tools for expressing his artistic vision. With a particular emphasis on illustrating the human form in abstract settings, many of his works explore the darker aspects of the human psyche.

Matthew Burney's journey with art started as an emotional outlet during his youth, and continues to be an ongoing process through his adult life.

Matthew's formal art studies include attending Stephen F. Austin State University from 1996 through 2001. His mentors include renowned artists Piero Fenci and Gary Frields. Matthew is a member of the SFA and Houston Art Alliances.

As a recent addition to the Houston art scene, Matthew has found success dealing privately with clients who wish to commission work, as well as promoting his art online. Currently his work can be seen online at KSTAR Studios, and in private collections around the city. His goals are to continue perfecting his abrasive technique, and become more involved with the Houston art community.
