Ian Barreto
Born and raised in Belém, Pará, I found through art a way to express myself and keep me creatively active since I was a kid - A hobby that followed me for my whole life and became a passion.
I studied at a Product Design school and got my degree with the intention of working on design or marketing agencies, but throughout my journey (circa 2017) I realized I could work with illustration for a living.
I’m currently working as a freelancer 2D artist and at 0N1 F0RCE as fulltime 2D artist. I have published works with clients such as Loot Studios, Moose Toys and Shed of Ideas.
