Dancing w/ Maenads & flirting w/paradigms while stumbling amongest the subtle & playing w/the absurd: a lost soul, scouting w/(in) shadows, on patrol of utopian event horizons, in search of some Sublime subtext.

From the Beginning where there is NO End..Mateo follows the energy and marvels of the most simple and mundane objects in our lives, and makes this weird, and wonderful and magically infused imagery,with his words. Like little twinkling incantations, we are carried, some times with a tiny bit of trepidation,(but it always turns to smiles in the end), to a point that he is making and the visual reference, of the tangible and intangible..He is abautiful artist. I lvoe hsi genius and the brilliance in the way he executes the action visually from his ideas..He is truly an artist with that special flair and truth that could really piss someone off, who is not honest with themselves..The Knight With the Sword of Turth and Justice shall come sweeping through, and eviscerate your lies... Thanks Mateo..You are a Knight...That's a good comparison!

๓ậтëø is an eclectic profound yet WILD MAN!!! He takes pictures with his tiny low resolution camera. He doesn’t do a lot of manipulation to them yet they are always interesting to look at. What attracted me to his photographs were his self-portraits, his eyes truly speak and his hair if definitely electrifying; one cannot help but be in awe of it. Take a journey through his stream and check out his crazy, wacky, weird world.
