I have a solid traditional background in landscape paintings that helps me to create difficult concept art and photorealistic matte-paintings for any types of shots. When it is necessary to give a direction to a team whether it is for a matte-painting department or a concept for CG development to be used as a guide for final direction to go. I also work pretty fast and efficient, having sharp eye for the details, choosing the best approach to achieve the best possible result in the shortest amount of time.
