Matthew Hunt Biography

Australia

I am an Australian artist and have been a full-time artist, producing regular works for the past 5 years. My Facebook page, Create The World, was created in April 2020 as a place to show case my work. I have worked with many clients to produce one off pieces of artwork on various items including wooden chairs, motorcycles, cars, helmets and wood. I started as an airbrush artist and over the last 2 years have been focused on producing artworks using a combination of airbrush and paint brush. Using acrylics on metal and more recently moving over to large scale canvas.

In November 2021 I entered the MTN Australia’s Customise your Casa challenge and won first prize for my dragon and phoenix chess table.

In 2024 I completed a large outdoor wall mural, measuring 10 meters by 4 meters. The wall featured two black swans which had started to populate the property on which the mural was painted.

In January 2025, I was commissioned to paint a portrait on a clock face for a private client, depicting her as a nature witch, incorporating the forest and her bees (she is a beekeeper) I have since completed two further portraits and find that I have a talent for this type of work

I have since entered the Naidoc Poster 2025 competition and the Archibald Prize 2025. I did not place in either of these, but they were great experiences for me.

My current artworks hold a mirror up to society and tell a story I feel needs to be seen.
