Hi, I'm J. Alberto Mata Jr. Welcome to my design and artwork website.

El Taller Mata is my creative studio based in Winterville, North Carolina. Through acrylic, watercolor, and oil pastel, I create original artwork that seeks to uncover the beauty and wonder woven into everyday life.

My work is shaped by a lifelong exploration of architecture, art, design, theology, and spiritual formation. Each piece is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Inspired by Christ’s words to "consider the lilies," my hope is that these paintings become more than visual objects—they become moments of reflection, gratitude, and connection with the Creator.

Through original works, prints, and the ongoing journey of building this studio, I invite you to follow along as El Taller Mata continues to grow.
