In zijn werk verkent hij de omgeving die hem omringt. Hij exploreert en analyseert zijn leefruimte, in de breedste zin van het woord. Hij tast de fysieke ruimte af, bestudeert en systematiseert ze. Het blootleggen van structuren is steeds belangrijker dan de esthetische kwaliteiten. Matthys wil de toeschouwer bewust maken van de complexiteit van onze perceptie.
