Matty Melts

Matty Melts is an Asbury Park, New Jersey–based artist creating resin-based pop sculptures inspired by melted desserts and sweets. The work celebrates joy, color, and childhood nostalgia, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on life’s fleeting pleasures.

Artistic Style & Inspiration
A self-taught artist and experimenter, Matty merges a love of art and science through resin, transforming unexpected materials into bold, playful, and tactile sculptures. The pieces capture whimsy, vibrant color, and nostalgic delight, encouraging audiences to reconnect with their inner child.

Creative Journey
Drawn to messy, playful art rather than traditional fine art, Matty’s work embraces experimentation, boldness, and vibrant color. Synesthetic perception of the world, where letters, numbers, and experiences appear in color, also informs the unique approach and style of the sculptures.

Artistic Intention & Themes
Through resin sculptures, the goal is to spark curiosity, joy, and nostalgia, reminding viewers that happiness is worth savoring and that delight doesn’t need to be earned. The work is an invitation to pause, play, and embrace wonder in everyday life.
