As a Matte Painter artist with expertise in Photoshop and Nuke, I specialize in crafting immersive environments and seamlessly integrating them into live-action footage. With a keen eye for detail, I excel in creating captivating landscapes and intricate set extensions for film, television, and advertising projects. Currently, I am focused on expanding my skill set to include compositing, 3D and simulations, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a commitment to mastering new techniques. With a proven track record of delivering high-quality work on time and within budget, I am dedicated to collaborating with fellow artists to bring creative visions to life and push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
