Matthew R. Jaffe

My name is Matthew Jaffe and I am a San Francisco based artist. I work from life and imagination, the former often a stepping stone for the latter. Drawing and painting is my way of communicating with the world; an opportunity to participate and interact with my surroundings.  While I'm able to  find artistic inspiration in most things, I'm drawn especially to subject matter of fantastic nature; not for love of pure escapism, but out of a desire to make the fantastic a part of my reality. 
My favorite artists and writers, both past and present, have often favored a subtle approach to their work; an emphasis on feeling and environment rather than explicit visual dictum.  It is this perspective that I want to convey with my own work in hopes that the viewer becomes a participant and not just a spectator.
Currently, I have many exciting projects in the works and I look forward to sharing them as they become a reality.
