See the World Through the Artist’s Lens with Matt Kaplinsky

Описание: Dallas-based painter Matt Kaplinsky captures the spirit of place through a warm, folksy impressionism that blends nature, memory, and imagination. A self-taught artist inspired by Matisse, Van Gogh, and Bonnard, Matt paints with curiosity and flow—allowing each brushstroke to reveal where Creative Intelligence wants to go next.

In this conversation, Matt and CJ explore how the path of least resistance guides both art and life. Matt shares how his work continually “veers off,” and instead of fighting it, he listens to the subtle energies leading him downstream. From vivid cowboy scenes to delicate garden still lifes, each painting becomes a dialogue between effort and surrender.

Together, they discuss how art acts as a lens—not transparent like glasses, but a spiritual way of seeing. Through that lens, we glimpse a shared universe, where making and viewing art allows us to perceive more than the surface of things.

Matt reminds us: the best paintings happen when we stop forcing the outcome and simply flow with what is.

“If you’re alive and you can take in art, for a moment your brain is looking through the lens of the artist and glancing into a different sense of our shared reality.”
