About me

Hello! I'm Matheus Ferraz Barzanelli, a pixel artist and professional freelancer for approximately four years. Born on July 23, 1990, in Jundiaí, Brazil, my passion for pixel art was sparked by video game classics like Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and the early Final Fantasy games.

Since childhood, drawing has been a part of my life, and the art style of those RPGs especially captivated me, conveying a feeling of comfort and nostalgia. In addition to RPGs, I've always been a player dedicated to exploring all aspects of games, especially minigames. Even today, I remember stopping my progress in games like Final Fantasy IX and Digimon World 3 to dedicate myself to the card minigames they offered.

Over time, I started drawing on my computer, using MS Paint purely for the pleasure of creating characters, maps, and monsters, without imagining that this activity could become a profession.

Years later, around the age of 25, I returned to drawing more seriously, albeit still as a hobby. At 28, I decided to take this passion seriously and look for a way to generate income from it. That's when I discovered the Fiverr platform.

Through Fiverr and social media promotion, I got my first clients. At that time, I didn't yet know how to price my work and even worked for values well below market to gain experience and enter the world of pixel art.

My clients' satisfaction has always been my priority, and many of them returned to hire me for other projects. Over time, I gained experience and confidence, which allowed me to seek clients directly, a path I continue to follow today.

I created this website to present my work more professionally and achieve my dream of working full-time as a pixel artist. Currently, I balance this activity with my conventional job.

I hope your visit to my website was pleasant and that my creations have inspired you in some way. If you need an artist to bring your projects to life, please feel free to contact me whenever you want!

See you later!
