Chatting With Sherri welcomes award winning illustrator Andre Mata!
 Lisbon artist, Andre Mata attracted to the visual arts, he started drawing from an early age, inspired by stories, movies, video games, and subjects that kindled his interest and fueled his imagination.
After studying illustration at university, he has invested in independent studies with books, the online community, blogs, articles, and video tutorials, while continuing to draw and paint. He shifts between observational and imaginative work, constantly developing and improving his craft.
Inspired by nature and its endless moods, his main goal is the development of imagery that triggers an emotional response and lingers in a person’s memory, weaving realism with imagination.
Working with traditional media, he develops realistic renderings, paying attention to the light, colors, shapes, and forms, attempting to capture the mood or feeling of the moment in a single image.
Influenced by classic literature, the Golden Age of Illustration, and imaginative realism, he works in the science fiction and fantasy field, as well as landscape, portraiture, and animal painting.
The Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contest; one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 38th year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction.
