I'm Matias Urzua Solar, (aka Mat Solart). A graphic Artist /Designer. I was born in Chile and have been an Australian citizen for many years, residing Down Under since.

After years of contributing to the graphic design and photo-retouching industry back in my homeland, my move to Australia marked a turning point. It was a chance for me to follow my true passion—creating art. Specifically, my heart lies in crafting digital paintings that blend photography, digital brushstrokes, and graphical elements.
I call my creations ‘pictorial photomontages’ . What I do is an artistic fusion, where photography takes the lead role.

Why 'Magical Recollections'?

It's a name that encapsulates the very essence of my art: I transform photographs, which hold memories, into something vibrant, painterly, and beautiful.

This platform is more than just a website; it's a window into my artistic practice. It's where I showcase my creations and share my unique style to the world.

This site also serves as a call to everyone out there. A call to bringing your own photographs into this artistic journey, to experience that special connection, that deep emotional resonance, that only a personalized artwork can provide.

So, welcome to 'Magical Recollections’. The place where photographs come to life.

Thank you for joining me on this creative adventure !
