Originally from Argentina, he grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. For most of his life in Argentina, he studied Fine Arts, and since that time his passion for Art as expression has only deepened. For the last eight years he has traveled extensively, opening himself to appreciate contact with different cultures, communities and beliefs.

In 2003, he spent three months in a small rural community in the mountains of central Costa Rica. During his journey within this magical place he embodied what he calls a miracle and was forever transformed by the depth of his experience. Because of the power of his experience, he began to explore different modalities of self-healing and energy work, including Transcendental Meditation, Reiki, and Tibetan healing, all of which continue to have a significant impact on his perception of life and reality.

In 2004 Matías founded “ReikiTime” in Tijuana, México, which serves as a space for the practice, teaching and expansion of Reiki. Holding International certification in two different styles of Reiki, he also developed a contemporary adaptation of Reiki to meet the needs of life in the 21st century called the “Nine Rituals Method”.

His path has led him to Encinitas, California were he currently resides. His philosophy is this~ "Art is not something that you can make, it is a reality that you experience, the way we express our inner world and however it manifests in the physical. Our very nature is art itself.”

O.A.K.nectar, Matías' current project, stands for “Organic Art Kollective”, which shares its Nectar consciously, with community, for the highest good of all. It is art as a living experience, bringing the spiritual practice of loving and sharing the One in this moment and time.
