Hi!

I'm Guilherme, born and raised in Brazil. Like many people, art has always been a huge part of my life, through cartoons on TV that I watched, mangas and comic books that I read, characters in games I played and art classes in school, many things always landed me in front of a piece of paper with a pencil in my hand, trying to reproduce those things I had seen and create my own worlds as well. Throughout a big portion of my life, art was always just a hobby, and it was only when I quit university that I came to the conclusion that being a professional artist could be a reality, and that it was worth giving it a shot.

So, between 2019 and 2021, I took nonstop courses and a mentorship that helped me build the first version of my portfolio. That body of work got me a few freelance gigs, and since then I've been working on indie games and private commissions here and there. But in 2023, I saw myself at a point where I needed to step out of my comfort zone and start putting myself out there more. So I dedicated the first few months of the year to work on a new project for my portfolio, to better showcase what I'm capable of doing currently. With that project finished, I think my work is at a point where I'm ready to take on bigger projects, and I'd love to see myself at a place where I'm able to constantly have contact with peers and mentors that will push me to new limits, and THU has always been a huge reference for me in terms of the community aspect of art.

My journey with art has been a bumpy one, to say the least, but I've never been more in touch with my artist self than currently. Working as a freelancer has been incredibly isolating for the most part, so I hope to change that very soon and find other people to go through this adventure together.
