I’ve lived my whole childhood surrounded by computers and electronics. I’ve also spent most weekends watching fantasy and Sci-Fi films with my parents. If we combine a great passion for technology with a boundless imagination, we get a creative personality who is constantly eager to learn new things. That's me. Because of this, I studied Software Engineering and now I am learning how to 3D-model properly, as well as VFX.

When I first learn how 3D objects are made in 3D MAX I realise I would like to work modeling props for videogames or 3D movies

Since I was a kid I fell in love with computers, sometimes choosing them over school or spending time with my friends. I was fascinated by what you could do with such a simple machine. It was that love what pushed me into playing video games, slowly discovering how movies and videogames are made, finding the programs where the magic is done and just had to try it once to fall in love with the whole process.

When I was 10 years old and I saw the "behind the scenes" of the Shrek2 dvd. It was amazing to see the cgi in production.

I studied Arts and I have always been interested in movement as a form of study, so I became interested in animation and realized that I loved bringing characters to life and understanding movement since its creation.

My parents took me to watch Toy Story on cinemas when I was less than a year old. They say I was so mesmerised that I didn't make a sound during the entire film. That was the beginning of my love for animation, and it's all been downhill from there.

Ever since I was a little boy, films such as Star Wars, The Lord of The Rings, Avatar, Interstellar... have always caught my eye in the sense of how beautifully their visual effects are. Later on, I started discovering my passion for visual effects by watching YouTube tutorials by Rebelway, Corridor Crew and VideoCopilot. I would see these artists creating incredible effects and from that moment on I knew I wanted to work doing what these people were achieving in their videos.

My passion for video games, and more specifically for driving and my fascination for vehicles, caught my attention to the world of 3D.

When I was 14 years old, more or less, I already knew that what I liked was art and that I wanted to dedicate myself to it. Later I realized that I like the world of videogames and 3D a lot and I started to find out about some courses where I could learn that. I studied for 2 years 3D art, modeling, animation, design... and then I took a course at Lightbox Academy. I am very clear that what I want is to work as a 3D artist in a video game company. And now I'm looking for a job.

Since I was little, every time I watched an animated movie or digital art on the internet, I was curious about how it was done and that one day I would like to be able to do it myself. My life took many turns and finally I startedt o study 3D Modeling and learn to do, in my own way, everything that I loved.

I’ve always been drawn to animation. Since I was little I’ve watched a lot of shows at “Canal Sur” and I used to draw all my favorite characters but I’ve always wanted to learn the magic behind the craft.

Since I was very young I have always liked drawing, and when I was discovering video games and movies, series, etc.I loved that world and create new stories so I got fully involved to try everything and soak up the industry.

I have always enjoyed watching cartoon films, and when I started the career as multimedia engineering I discovered that I wanted to learn more about the 3d world. Recently I've done a VFX course with Houdini and now, I'm sure that I want to practice and learn more about this software. In addition, I'm going to carry out a lighting and composition course within a few months with the objective of having all the kwnoledge I can to become a competitive professional.

Literally when I played Devil May Cry 3 for the PlayStation 2 console, that’s when I decided I wanted to work in the video game industry.

Hasta hace poco no tenía ni idea de este mundo de las artes digitales, pero un día lo descubrí por casualidad de la mano de una persona muy cercana y desde entonces estoy formándome para mejorar día a día y llegar a ser una gran artista digital.

Before I started my career in Fine Arts, I knew I wanted to dedicate myself professionally to digital arts. Totally convinced that if you work in what you like, it's not work but pleasure.

Although I initially studied computer science and worked as a devops engineer, I felt a tiny void inside that that wasn't what I was meant to be doing all my life. After quite some time of figuring out my future and a lot of introspection, I quit and made a career change and started to deep dive into learning 3d modelling in March 2020. Now, I'm improving and broadening my skills day by day to step a foot in the industry.

Art has been one of my passions since I was very young. I was 15 and couldn't focus in a word my biology teacher said, I couldn't stop drawing and have been doing it ever since. Therefore when I was given the chance to choose my future I had it crystal clear I wanted to create visual art to entertain, teach or help everyone I could.

When I was a child I suffered a knee injury, my uncle gifted me a sketch book and some pencils, since then I sepend all the time I have drawing, desinging and looking ways to creat things that have never been seen.

I always wanted to work in the video games industry, but when I was little I don´t really know how to do it, so I was about to give up when in my last year of high school I found on the internet a school that offer a master on concept art and illustration, that´s when I found my path on this industry.

My whole view changed after watching Avatar (2009) on cinema as a 10 year old child, since then I wanted to create 2D worlds and characters that could represent the world of my imagination. It wasn't until 2015 that I decided to make art my future, with an urge to learn all I could, I dived head first into art schools and courses, and finally felt like I belonged.

I started a university degree in computer science but after a year I realized that what I really liked was the mixture of computers and art. From here I started in the world of 3D animation and videogames until now, here I am studying a higher degree in 3D modeling with Lightbox Academy.

I have been always excited with Animation and Videogames, any theme related with animation has wake me up a curiosity, my professional career move to IT but finally I have decided to move to animation, I need to know what I be able to do on this incredible world.

Since I was little I have always liked to imagine and create things. But I realized that I wanted to work in this industry when, at university, I did the first subject with 3D software. Also when I saw that in the world of 3D there is nothing impossible. Here again I realized that 3D is the future.
