blumwurks /blo͞omwərks/ • n. the bringer of emotion through art. v. the never-ending search for the thought provoking, the beautiful, the inspirational.
Matthew Blum, the creator of blumwurks, was born in Ohio in 1974. Over the last few years, Matthew has worked predominantly with photography, but always looks for time to create images with graphite, acrylics and digital software. Whatever the medium, he pays close attention to detail and composition, while ensuring the conveyance of his idea or feeling. His body of work emphasizes the cohesion or disparity of nature and humanity. His goal remains constant...to see things differently and express that vision to the onlooker.
Recent accomplishments include acceptance into the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts competition and being awarded an "Honorable Mention", a photograph being published in Digital Foto, the largest Photography Magazine in the Nordic Region, and having numerous photos purchased through stock photography agencies.
