Matt Ryder is an award-winning British artist living and working in Dubai of the United Arab Emirates. Matt finds inspiration in the wild beauty of the natural world – whether it’s land, sea, or sky. It’s astonishing that there are still wild places left in the world that have not been painted. That’s the unique situation Matt finds himself in where he lives in the Middle East. Matt takes advantage of the cooler seasons to paint outdoors among the majestic mountains where few people live. Inspired by John Singer Sargent’s landscape paintings - The Moraine and Simplon Pass – Matt strives to capture the feel of the rugged, boulder-filled landscape before him. Braving desert heat, enduring “you shouldn’t be here” looks from people in rare encounters, and bemused by camels curious about what he is doing – these are all in a day’s plein air painting session with Matt Ryder.
Before these isolated landscapes change and are lost forever, Matt is on a mission to capture with oil paint the extraordinary, rugged beauty of these wild lands unseen by most of us. Matt Ryder is truly an enthusiastic painter, earnestly painting these wondrous and mysterious landscapes with a clear vision.
