Bio
I’m a multidisciplinary artist with a foundation in traditional art and over 15 years of experience in graphic art. My work spans 2D illustration, 3D design, NPR rendering, and interactive installations, blending handcrafted and digital techniques to create surreal, thought-provoking visuals. With a passion for pushing boundaries, I explore the intersection of art, technology, and storytelling, crafting pieces that challenge norms and spark new ways of seeing.
About the Work
I take a fluid, hybrid approach to my work, seamlessly integrating traditional illustration, 3D design, procedural workflows, and interactive elements. My process moves between hand-drawn aesthetics and digital innovation, allowing me to adapt and experiment across mediums. I specialize in Cinema 4D, Blender, Unreal Engine, Redshift, and Adobe Creative Cloud, using these tools to create concert visuals, immersive installations, and Web3 projects.
About This Piece
For my CryptoCubes piece, I combined NPR rendering, 2D illustration, projection mapping, and custom shaders, all rendered in 3D. By blending hand-drawn aesthetics with procedural techniques, I created an interplay of light, texture, and dimensionality, merging 2D and 3D workflows in unexpected ways.
Future
NFTs and Web3 have allowed me to share and sell digital art globally without relying on traditional markets. They provide new creative and financial opportunities, and I see them continuing to shape how artists connect with audiences and distribute their work.
