I am a compositor / matte painter with an immense passion for film making, design and music. Over the years I had opportunities to work in some fantastic projects ranging from corporate videos, commercials and feature films in six countries around the globe. I love traveling and adventure which gives me opportunity to embrace new cultures and new perspectives as an artist.
