I realized that I was attracted to nearby animation around my 13-14 years old thanks to video games, I tried with my friends to make small 3D games on blender at the time, then I went to visit plenty of 3D animation school, whose one where I am now MOPA located in Arles france, I always was attracted by what is creative whether it is originally drawing, cinema, Sculpture but also Art in general

I have always been interested by drawing and animation movies, so i decided to discover the world of 3D animation. I started create things and now I'm in love with surfacing and visual developement !

I think I always wanted to work in a creative media, I just didn't know which one. As a child I really loved drawing, as a teenager, I really enjoyed music and now as a young adult I think I have found my path in animation (because it regroups all of it).

It was during my two years degree that I realized I love the world of CGI. So I decided to study at MoPA school (Supinfocom Arles)

I have always been fascinated by the world of animation. When I was little I could stay for hours in front of these movies. I still do it by the way. Today I want to create animated films to make dream the children who will see them, and make them also want to do this job too later.

Since I was little I have been fascinated by 3D animation. And it was in high school that it was a revelation to me that I wanted to make it my profession

When I was a kid I realized after watching Toy Story hundreds of time that I had actually zero idea as to how they created those images. That was the spark that stayed with me. Art being the thing i loved most one thing led to another, now I'm at MOPA and want to create that spark for others.

I built myself around this goal , and now here i am

I've always loved drawing. Now using 3D to continue the party ;)

When I was about 12, I discovered the work of cg artists through a friend of my parents, that's when I knew I wanted to work in the animated movie industry, but i've always been interested by art and knew since I was a child I wanted to do art when i'll grow up.

At the age of 11, my father decided to give me one of his old PC. A laptop that could barely run any games but I only needed something that could make Youtube banners for my friends. That's when I discovered about Speed Arts and felt in love with Concept Arts. I knew at that time I wanted to work in the creative media and learn so i could shape the ideas I have.

Since middle school, i love to create stories and characters. As i grew up, animation is the medium that i affectionate the most.

The idea of ​​working in the creative media and entertainment industry came naturally to me during my senior year of high school. I realized that I couldn't work in a lab as a chemist the rest of my life and when I researched what I really wanted to do I founded some 3D schools in France and was "yes, that's what I want to do every day" .

I've been drawing since I was able to hold a pen and that first experience became a passion, my favorite way to express myself. In 2016, I entered a specialised art section at my high school, where we are taught design, art history, graphic design, drawing and 3D conception. We worked on a variety of projects, using different techniques, formats and subjects. I personally started to develop an interest in animation, seeing it as a possibility to tell stories and express my creativity.

I was 12 years old, I was at my grandmother’s and I was bored, I took with me the collector’s box of the Lord of the Rings, with the bonus behind the scenes. So I decided to watch it : I loved, I discovered the world of 3d, how my favorite movie was made real. Since that day I want to become 3d Designer Director

When i was a child for the first time i seen one of my cousins how works in the industry , he showed some stuff he did and it was like a revelation for me !

With a passion for art, animals, monsters and creatures I joined a 3D school in 2018 to learn new tools.

I love reading comic books, I got my passion for visual arts from there. But I had to go through an engineering diploma to realise that I really needed to work in the creative field.

When we realized that we could spend our lives creating and having fun!

Since I was little I always wanted to work in this industry, I've always been passionate about it, that's why I wanted to do it as soon as possible

I realized there was a lot to learn
