About

Hi! I’m Mati, a passionate artist specializing in design, illustration, and tattoo art. Based in Barcelona, I have experience working freelance internationally, creating everything from logo and album cover illustrations for indie rock bands to commissioned sports and book illustrations. I love combining traditional and digital techniques to bring unique concepts to life.

I also have a background in teaching product and industrial design classes at the Universidad de Palermo in Buenos Aires. Whether it’s personalized lettering or sweatshirt designs, I enjoy collaborating with clients worldwide to create original visual stories.

This project was brought by a branding company of books in english who were introducing the illustration as a way of getting new experiences from the clients. 
Finally, the work was very well received and happily applied to the tales they were making.

The VIVO Telefónica project represented a great challenge since the focus consisted of a new product that launched the brand to the (Brazilian) market and the company’s eye was on Accessibility.

So much so, that it was innate for me to get fully involved in the subject and immerse myself in the creation of a storytelling that could reflect and accompany the process of an archetype of person, resulting in Nana, a friendly grandmother who, in order to adapt to these new times, she is “forced” to modernize and buy a latest generation cell phone along with a data package that allows her to communicate with her nephew and grandchildren.
