Matthew Morillo studied all the great masters including Bonnard, Degas, Homer, Modigliani, Matisse, Sargent, Van Gogh, Vuillard, and others. From these masters he learned to use color to give a new perspective to his work.

After going through a traditional training in watercolors, Matthew Morillo soon discovered the full realm of color. He started to mix watercolor and pastel to create a traditional form with a twist. As time went on, he transitioned into pure pastels, and then completely into oils. Matthew Morillo loves to create innovative and beautiful compositions, each with its own style. Not only does he use color to its fullest potential, he makes use of patterns in his painting to capture the eye of the viewer.
