3D is like an optical illusion:
it’s the craft of showing
something that isn’t there.

As a child, I saw the world through glittering eyes. When adulthood set in, that sense of wonder began to fade.
After pursuing art in college, my life took a different trajectory for several years, causing me to lose some of that youthful enthusiasm. The lack of fulfilment in my day-to-day job made me make the decision—to return to my studies and delve into graphic design. This choice reignited a spark of that youthful excitement within me.
During my journey as a graphic designer, I stumbled upon the world of motion design and took my initial steps into After Effects. In my pursuit of mastering this software, I decided to look for some classes and stumbled on a Cinema 4D course. My fascination with 3D design had always been present, dating back to when a classmate introduced me to Blender over a decade ago. While I had attempted to learn Blender before, I often found myself overwhelmed by its complexity. Today, when I'm creating 3D art,
I feel like that child with glittering eyes again. My imaginative worlds are no longer constructed with Lego blocks; instead, they come to life in a different 3D realm.
Apart from dedicating my time to all things design, I have a passion for drawing and engage in printmaking, particularly lino cutting. This love for printmaking is a legacy passed down from my grandfather to my father and on to me. My daily inspiration flows from walks through the streets of Brussels, where I admire the Art Nouveau and Brutalist architecture – or sometimes just an accidentally artful composition of trash and discarded objects. Finding beauty in my excursions to Le Forêt de Soignes, drawing inspiration from the rhythmic movements of the forest.
