01 / FOUNDATION3D
Building worlds.
Most often I begin by modeling forms, arranging figures and finding the right atmosphere, light and space.

01 — 02 / A CLOSER LOOK
Between shadows
and what we feel.
A closer look at the figures I create, the things they carry, and the way my work takes shape — sometimes carefully built, sometimes found by accident.

THE FIGURES IN THE DARK
All they want
is to be
human.
The Umbras are shadows shaped by memories, nostalgia and human nature. They imitate our forms and gestures, longing for one thing: to step into the light and experience life as we do.
They aren’t quite people, but there’s something painfully familiar about them. What they carry is often what we carry too — our fears, our contradictions and the feeling that something is missing.

FROM AN IDEA TO AN IMAGE
Some worlds begin with a plan. Others appear when I stop trying to control every little thing.
02 / HOW I MAKE MY ART3D / PAINTING / EXPERIMENTATION
Making,
unmaking.
I started with photo manipulation before moving into 3D and digital painting. Most of my work still begins in 3D, but lately I’ve been trying more things directly on a blank canvas — painting, making mistakes and following ideas wherever they go.
02 / EXPERIMENTTRIAL & ERROR
Letting things change.
I distort, rebuild, cut references and paint over what I’ve made. Sometimes I skip 3D altogether and just see what happens.
03 / PAINTINGFINAL FEELING
Finding the feeling.
Texture, shadows, strange details and small accidents help the piece become something I couldn’t have fully planned.
The images above are finished works from my portfolio, not a step-by-step record of one piece. I don’t have one strict method, and I like keeping it that way.
“I create because I love creating.
Everything else comes after.”
