Thaïs · Costa da Caparica, Portugal
My journey begins in Costa da Caparica, Portugal. That's where the work signed « Mathis » was born — it's a name, but also the expression of my feelings. Drawing is a way of explaining the vibe present around us.
I start by sketching by hand. I prefer to keep things simple and honest. Each piece is drawn with a retro soul, sun-washed, echoing the 70s and grounded in the now.
These illustrations are postcards of a life lived slowly — meant to hang on your wall, sit on your mug, slip into your day like a deep breath.
Most pieces start on a walk — cliff path, harbour, beach — with a sketchbook.
Back in the studio. Lines are kept geometric, palettes restrained, sun-washed.
The original drawing is then scanned and prepared for fine-art reproduction.
Printed on heavyweight matte paper, three sizes, available framed too.
The Portuguese coast on your wall is the same one I walk every morning.
A 30-kilometre stretch of Atlantic beach south of Lisbon. Fishermen still bring in the catch at dawn. Surfers chase barrels at sunset. In between, life moves slowly.
The studio sits a few streets back from the beach. The light here is the reason most of the pieces feel the way they do.
14 hand-drawn designs — from 19,50€, three sizes, framed or unframed.
