Biography

I consider myself mostly an adventurer. ************************* I always go for the most original, new and cutting edge creative results possible... I find that a very important value for my work. I consider that unexplored paths are basic fuel for the human spirit to flourish and offer it's best. As a pre (and post alike) Internet artist I have a wide variety of aesthetic approaches to the creative endeavor. ************************* I’ve been working in the animation, video game and advertising industry for more that 15 years now, having my best and stronger skills in pre production and production areas. In the pre production area I strongly work on art direction/visual development, characters design, background and scenario design, concept art, key frame art, storyboard, color keys & illustration in general. In the production area I strongly work in the design and painting of backgrounds for 2d productions and 2d frame by frame animation (all steps included: from layout\blocking, passing through rough animation and assistance til clean up and colour) I am capable of taking an art direction role leading an art team the same as taking a proactive artist role inside an existing one.
