Biography

Born and raised in Macedonia, currently living in Helsinki, Finland. I decided to take the art career path from as early as possible with enrolling to High School for Applied Arts in Skopje. Then continued my education to Faculty for Fine Arts also in Skopje. My main inspiration for my art was always video games and movies. Being aligned with the ideas of heroes from the epic stories I was experiencing, I decided to one day contribute to the next generations by doing something that they will experience and get motivated to pass on the fire so to say to the next ones to come.

I have been working in the arts and entertainment industry for more than 7 years and have contributed to a few projects among which some have been awarded and are still being sustained. Chimparty published by Sony Playstation, won the BAFTA 2019 award for visuals, where I worked as a concept artist. One of my illustrations won Best Illustration on Show in the Balkan Comic convention in Leskovac. My works have been exhibited and featured in magazines and books published by 3D Total, ImagineFX,  Caurette Editions, Moongoose publishing etc. Among my clients and companies I have worked with I can note Kobold Press, Sony Playstation, Samsung, Immutable, Games Workshop among the others. 

Currently working on starting my publishing house where I will publish my own books and comics, as well as other artists'.
