THE ICONS MUSEUM

In visiting the Icon museum in Covington Louisiana I was confronted with an artist , Matthew Montero, whose paintings revel in the sheer joy of paying homage to the people and items that helped change the world. His ability to manipulate the canvas to create portraits of such interest lets the observer really understand why this art display is so important for all to see. The museum although small has so much to interest anyone and is beautifully maintained.

This was by far the best art tour I have encountered in my years. I booked an appointment (because you must to visit) and I was able to attend the same day. The experience was truly AWE-INSPIRING! The portraits of all the unforgettable iconic people felt so alive and strong with presence. The Retrorooms (which there are 2), are something you have to see to believe. Artist Matthew Montero has made a creative masterwork with ICONS. The museum and experience is just gorgeous and beyond recommending. Just visit!

Original and Emotive!

Such a fascinating visual display of Mathew's intentional storyboard of who impresses him, of who has influenced him in his life. To hear this personally, from the artist, is an emotional experience leaving one feeling bonded as a people. He seizes feelings, and this is visible in their eyes and details. Painted with his own hands, he allows us to touch his gems. I touched the surface, noting the specifics , hoping to absorb some sense of permanency of the portrait. In conversation, he allowed a listening ear to the Golden Ratio - Fibonacci Sequence where I believe his art work captures this pattern of connection through each.

A very sensual, sexy artistic experience indeed!

The Icons museum is a one of a kind experience. You will be immersed in artist/proprietor/host Matthew Montero’s world.

You will be surrounded by beauty, class and history. The fine attention to detail in creating the perfect experience is evident from the moment you step into the museum.

No guest will ever have the same experience twice. Matthew Montero has created a unique environment in which everyone regardless of creed, gender or social class can experience and learn about art and the greatest icons of our lifetime.

Do not miss this opportunity.

The experience was just astounding!! You walk into a place of beauty, peace and harmonious with nature.

The art is just incredible. Your feel the emotion of each painting. It is as if f they are alive.
And to know that they were painted not with a brush but with Matthew's own hands.
This is unbelievable, it takes great talent to accomplish this.

I left feeling refreshed and I guess you might say it was a kind of spiritual experience.
