In Soul to Soul, Matt Small explores the profound, unseen layers of human identity, inviting viewers to connect with the subjects on a deeply personal level. These works challenge us to move beyond the surface and perceive the intrinsic worth and humanity of each individual portrayed. Each piece is a window into the life, story, and soul of another—an opportunity to engage in a moment of compassion, reflection, and understanding.
The essence of Soul to Soul lies in the power of connection, urging us to recognize and honour the spirit within every person. These artworks are a call to view others with dignity and respect, to look past preconceived notions, and to embrace the shared humanity that binds us all.
Through his expressive and layered technique, Small captures not just physical appearances, but the intangible essence of the soul, allowing for a deeper, more meaningful connection between the viewer and the subject. This body of work serves as a meditation on empathy, acceptance, and the fundamental worth of each individual—seen and respected on a soul level.
