When I was around 14 I downloaded Blender from Steam because I had no computer games to play. Ever since I have been going in deeper and deeper into 3D graphics. When I turned 16 I decided to pursue a career in the game industry so I started to look for a university.

When I attended independent animation and film festivals where I met very inspiring people.

Couple of years ago I returned to my art roots after long hiatus. Now I have a goal to find a job and do what I love.

I had a very blurry idea of my creative future very early in the primary school, however it fully blossomed after I started my secondary school journey.

During PhD, I rediscovered my passion for art and started to draw again. Initially, I was dedicated to traditional art mediums, but I often found myself admiring digital art. After completing my PhD, I signed up for a Concept Art & Digital Illustration Course at the CG Spectrum and later went on to do an Advanced Digital Illustration Course. Currently, I am trying to hone my skills and find my own artistic style to be able to create compelling fantasy characters, creatures and worlds.

After seeing the dragons in Game of Thrones. I was fascinated how computer grafics can bring tthe fantasy into the reality.

I knew that for all my life

Not sure if i wanna "work" ...keen now to just explore

Steven Spielberg is a benchmark for me, his films are film history. Spielberg's talent for generating emotions in the viewer in his films is unique.

When I was 13 years old.

Since I was in elementary school I had a huge interest in both computer science and art. Coming from a country where CGI isn't a very widespread term, I didn't know that this was even a career choice until my final year of high school. But ever since I learned about it I've been actively pursuing it :)

During high school when I started to be interested in 3D modeling and VFX.

Ever since I was young, I always wanted to create *something*. At that time I was just making sketches on paper. As time went on and I was growing up, I slowly realized how grim the world is - Art became an escape. This realization combined with the thought that, despite existing for thousands of years and developing every second, art is still very much mysterious and unexplored, has given me motivation to create and explore, build my own world, escape and show my work to like-minded people.

Ever since I started with my own art I realized that an imaginative creation is my kind of media where I can express myself and make my ideas real. Being able to put ideas onto a paper or a digital canvas was always a rewarding process after I could see my design in real life.

I have found myself as a creative person who would like to express himself by some creative art

I realized 2 years ago while the pandemic was raging for the first time. I picked up Blender just to see what it was all about, everyone around me seemed to love it, and I did too. Since then I made some projects and renders, which are long forgotten and I could not even show them today, because of how bad they were. I am building my skills and knowledge.

I used to play games a lot and one day I stumbled across 3d modeling, I gave it a try and was really surprised how much fun it was.

I used to play games a lot and then I realised that I would love to make my own game.
