Tiago Mattis

Tiago Mattis is an illustrator and visual storyteller born and raised in West London, with a lifelong passion for drawing. Trained as an illustrator, his creative journey has been profoundly shaped by the years he spent living in Japan — a place that continues to serve as a rich and enduring source of inspiration in his work.

Known for its vibrant colours and inviting warmth, Tiago’s art has been described as both expressive and emotionally resonant. His enthusiasm for trying new forms and techniques has led him to expand his creative practice in recent years, balancing professional illustration commissions with an exploration into the worlds of comics and manga.

Rooted in cross-cultural influence and a spirit of experimentation, Tiago’s work blends visual narrative with heartfelt expression. Whether through stand-alone illustrations or serialized graphic stories, he continues to engage audiences with art that is both dynamic and approachable. He remains open to creative dialogue and connection, particularly with those who share his love for art, Japanese culture, and comics.
