La Défense, Paris
Low clouds.
Light rain.
Almost no people.
The city sleeps.
Few silhouettes, umbrellas.
Silence.
As concept artists, we spend countless hours trying to invent believable atmospheres.
Sometimes reality does all the work for us.
An unusually early morning, low clouds hiding the tops of the towers,
light rain and an empty financial district transformed La Défense into something that felt strangely cinematic.
I've been working in the Entertainment industry since 1999 after studying Visual Communication Design.
Today i work as a Concept Artist / Designer and Key Art Illustrator in Art Departments or for VFX after many years as a Matte Painter and 3D Artist.
In my spare time i love to practice traditional drawing and painting, and experiment with image making, music and sound design.
In 2008 i was honored to receive a VES AWARD in Los Angeles for leading a team of VFX artists on a BBC TV Series.
