Mathew Chamakkala

Mathew Chamakkala is a visual artist based on Long Island, New York, working across abstract and realistic styles. His work explores texture, surface, and layered materials, inviting viewers to slow down and engage closely with the physical presence of each piece.

Rooted in a multigenerational artistic lineage from Kerala, India - where his maternal grandfather was an art teacher and his mother discovered painting later in life - Chamakkala’s work reflects an inherited sensitivity to making as a quiet, enduring act.

Blending traditional techniques with tactile elements, Chamakkala draws inspiration from everyday subjects and expressive abstraction. His work is featured online, including on Saatchi Art, and reflects a deeply personal exploration of memory, material, and surface.
