Well, that's what I love to do: art for animation and games. Let's connect and create together! [email protected]
Biography
Since my adolescence I have been working on creative projects involving art and design.
In 2016, with the achievement of my Bachelor Degree in Advertising, I decided to delve deeper into the artistic field with the intention of working in the entertainment industry. I decided to redirect my career path to persuit what I love to do: art for animation and games.
Several digital art courses and a few years later, I finally entered this very competitive market and, for more than two years, I've been designing environments, characters, and props, with focus on background art.
Now, in this amazing online event, I really hope to connect with more experienced artists to learn from international industry professionals and possibly create high level projects together.
