Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I had a great passion about the combination of using math to create. I first wanted to go into my fathers footsteps and become an architect, but the one thing that always troubled me was the limitations. When I found CG and FX it was like a world opened up for me, it was like a switch that turned on. Endless possibilites of creativity and techichality. So here I am, couple thousand kilometres away from home and studying vfx at ArtFX
I was not a big Harry Potter fan like other 'Potterheads' but one of my friends was, so she always used to talk about Harry Potter , that got me interested to watch HP series, then after watching it, i was fascinated by the scale of sets and the creatures like dragons, house elves, etc., then i searched about BTS of the HP series, and found out that maximum times, it were set extensions and people sitting in front of screens doing effects.., that got me interested in Animation and VFX.
I've love animation all my life. At first I wanted to work on that, but about 5 years ago I realized I enjoy more working on games and programming. Since then I've been learning Unreal and Unity mostly with tutorials and reading documentation. In 2020 after saving up for some time and building up my portfolio I started studying Game Art at ArtFx Montpellier.
I wanted to be a plastic artist at first. I went to college to learn applied art and I hated it. I hated the way I learned about colors, painting or art history. It was very academic and it wasn't a good fit for me. In Artfx, everything is based on cinema. Everything you learn is axed around it, and it makes it beautiful and it gives a purpose to your work. But when I first realize that I wanted to be part of the industry is when I realized that I stopped looking at my watch really.
I've always been interested by images, landscapes. As soon as I got a computer, I was really interested by digital tools, starting in 2008 with PhotoFiltre, then later using Photoshop. I started to watch more and more movies as I grew up and I really felt that it would be amazing to work on them ! that I realized I'd like very much to work in Visual Effects. I'm now working at Folks VFX as a Environment/Lighting TD !
Since I was a child, I dreamt about creating stories and having the possibility to show them to everyone, so after trying to represent them with letters in books, I chose to draw them... I think I understood it was the right way to go when my words weren't enough to represent exactly the worlds that grew up in my mind, when I couldn't stop myself to represent each others worlds.
