Summary

I'm a versatile 3D artist originally from Colombia, now based in Sweden, focused on collaborative work. I'm passionate about art and building communities around it. While I have experience in diverse aspects of asset creation -such as props, environments, and characters- I have always gravitated toward creature and animal art. Over the course of 13 years working professionally in 3D art, I've learned that a cornerstone of successful collective projects is maintaining open and continuous communication. The intersection of my passion for art, games, and teaching fuels my constant pursuit of learning and artistic growth.
