Hi, My name is Gonçalo Dias and I am a Portuguese Visual Development Artist, Background Artist and Digital Matte Painter based in Lisbon.
I specialise in 2.5D art for animation and film, combining Photoshop and Nuke to create environments, backgrounds and matte paintings. My work covers visual development, background design and final image production, with credits including Nimona, Garfield, Dog Man and Wolf King.
I’m also the director and art director of Beak Quiet, winner of Best Portuguese Curtíssima at MONSTRA 2026.
