Hugo Mathias is a New Zealand contemporary artist, currently based in Melbourne, Australia. His paintings explore the unique connection we have with consumer products, and the role they play in shaping personal identities. He uses symbolism to express these ideas in his work. Hugo utilises a broad range of artistic techniques from traditional to digital painting. His style is realistic yet painterly, full of colour and perfect tone. The subject matter is iconic, reminding viewers of their own connections with the products they consume every day. The result is a vibrant pop style that engages audiences far and wide. Hugo has exhibited his work in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan.
