About Me
Hi, I'm Matheus Freitas - a professional artist with over four years of experience in the video game and animation industries across different disciplines and departments.
I combine versatility, efficiency, and a solid foundation in art fundamentals to deliver high-quality, story-driven visuals. From the moment I started seriously experimenting with creative activities at the age of twelve, I've been developing workflows that balance creative exploration with practical, time-saving techniques - always focuses on telling compelling stories through design and illustration.
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I grew up drawing during class, jamming on toy instruments, and dreaming of becoming a professional creative, like a manga artist or game designer. That creative spark eventually led me to attend several courses to learn about the creative process, such as a general computer graphics course at Seven Computação Gráfica and game arts at RedZero. It was in the latter that I discovered my true calling: illustration and visual storytelling.
At the age of 19, I moved over 11,000 kilometres away from my parents and friends to Canada, where I would begin a serious pursuit of my passion. I studied Concept Art for animation and video games at Vancouver Film School and later completed the 2D Animation program at Langara College. Since then, I've worked with multiple indie game studios and provided my services to clients like Navigator Games and Riot Forge. My journey has also taken me into the animation industry, where I ended up settling for longer. I had the honour to contribute to projects such as Sausage Party: Foodtopia, Pantheon, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Digman! and a few others.
Most recently, I served as a Senior Background Layout Artist at Giant Ant for the upcoming animated feature film Tangles.
Today, I'm a reliable and collaborative creative with a strong work ethic and a genuine love for teamwork. Whether in games or animation, I aim to bring not just strong visuals to the table - but also support, positivity, and a drive to elevate the work of those around me.
