He has had the pleasure of working on five VFX Oscar winning films: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, as well as King Kong, and Avatar, and three VFX Oscar nominated films: Stuart Little, Hollowman, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
His true passion began in 2009 with his first matte painting. Since then, he has been transitioning into working predominantly as a matte painter, combining his artistic talents, strong lighting background, and technical skills. Bringing his expertise in these areas together within one medium has been truly rewarding.
