I define my art as Metacosmic, for the visions I suggest in my works, dont deal only with the earthly dimension of things that come within our sensorial perception, but they are a composition of moods that push beyond perception.
My perspective is in fact a new meta-cosmic perspective, where , for example, a normal scenery becomes the representation of the enigmatic hidden within.
Now I live and work in Ravenna.

The Metaphysical Painture of Matteo Lama
(by Prof. Dr. Orazio Tanelli)

The artist Matteo Lama, quite famous in the outline of contemporary painting, lives in Lido Adriano (Ravenna).
His original and authentic painting contains statuesque and giant figures, set on a mystery, dreamy background.

At first sight, the portrayed characters offer a mythological appearance, that evokes an ancient epic or a holy scripture, where the hieratic and liturgical aspect assumes new and modern features...

...Under the influence of Hellenistic culture, Matteo Lama creates artistic metamorphosis of great importance and with experienced masterly skill of signs and colour.

His world is an oneiric, reverie world which doesnt exclude neither despises the love and beauty of nature.

Matteo Lama is able to mix together Classic and Modern world, by a poetical synthesis that reaches figurative levels of great talent in the world of metaphysics and of metempsychosis.

Really an excellent artist!
