About

Hello! My name is Matsya Das and im a brazilian artist and illustrator. I guess my love for Arts and illustration began when i was a kid and was trying to express on paper all the worlds and stories i imagined. I remember my family had a bakery, so i used to take enourmous sheets of paper (which was going to be used to wrap the cakes) and with a ballpoint pen i would immerse myself into those drawings. I was always trying to portray things i was interested for, as a way to feel myself connected to those subjects.

​

My family had some fairy tale books from the 60's which were full of illustrations, ink vignettes and they seemed so magical! It's like they were a key to another world far more interesting then i could ever experience here. That was a major inffluence for my inspiration as an artist, which i carried troughout my teen years, expressing it in different ways.

​

I always had a strong inclination for spirituality, so in 2009 I met the Hare Krishna devotees and joined ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). Since than i started to imbide spiritual subjects within my art. Today i work as a full time artist and have a peaceful life with my wife Devahuti Dasi and our 3 lovely cats.
