I’m Mateus Machado, a Paris-based creative director, stage designer, and visual artist with over six years of experience crafting immersive environments for live shows, performances, and large-scale events.
My creative journey started with photography at age 12, leading to my first solo exhibition in Paris by 15. Since then, my path has evolved through fashion, graphic design, motion graphics, and spatial scenography — shaping a practice that thrives at the intersection of visual culture and live performance.
Today, I focus on designing experiences that connect people to stories — whether through stage architecture, 3D renderings, visual assets, or overall show direction. I’ve developed visual worlds for concerts, stadium ceremonies, cultural events, and youth conferences, often jumping between concept design, rendering, and execution with a hands-on, adaptive approach.
Driven by curiosity and a strong sense of narrative, I approach each project with both creative freedom and technical precision. I enjoy collaborating with artists, studios, and production teams to bring ideas to life — from the first sketch to the final moment on stage.
