These smaller and mid-sized paintings offer an accessible way to begin or grow a collection.

Created for new collectors, intimate spaces, and rooms that need a meaningful original work without the scale of a large statement piece, this collection includes paintings under 36" x 48". These works carry the same energy, layered color, and emotional presence found in Matt Josef’s larger paintings, but in a size that fits more easily into homes, offices, studios, and personal spaces.

Smaller works are ideal for bedrooms, hallways, reading corners, shelves, gallery walls, offices, and quiet architectural moments where a painting can create warmth, rhythm, and personality. They are also a strong choice for collectors who are purchasing original art for the first time or looking to add a more personal piece to an existing collection.

At this scale, the paintings invite a closer kind of viewing. Details, marks, texture, and color relationships become more intimate, creating a direct connection between the work and the viewer.

For those looking for an original painting with character, presence, and collectability in a more flexible size, this collection is a natural place to begin.
