was born on 5th of October 1976 in Oradea - Romania. In the
4th grade I was into comic books and I began drawing. This passion,
probably very spread among the kids of that age, lasted for
a few years until highschool.
So, from `91 to `95, I followed the Art Highschool in Oradea
where my classmaster and all my profile teachers were very cool.
They taught me a lot of things; those were beautiful years with
a lot of fun and all the rest. After highschool I attended The
Art University from Oradea - Painting specialization, but after
two years I gave it up in order to be employed (I had some reasons).
All these happened when I begun to take computers more seriously
and I realized how many possibilities they can offer with all
the new software that appeared on the market. After a few good
weeks of learning Photoshop 5 (helping a friend with some work)
I managed to get a job as a graphic designer at a company that
produces soft drinks. Here I had the chance to learn more about
software, design, publicity and other things. At the same time,
after work, during the next 2 - 3 years I made the illustrations
for two children books, and other book covers for the same editor. In
December 2004, after 4 years of graphic design and after a
year of visiting a CG forum named VisualArt, encouraged by
one of my colleagues that worked in 3D, I finally posted my
first illustrations (made for a new Romanian Trading Card
Game called Warcards) on that forum. The works weren`t quite
that good, but I had to get started from somewhere. I was
welcomed and the gang was cool. I got a lot of critics, suggestions
and of course help (thanks guys) and I manage to improve
and to define my passion for digital illustrations. And so
I entered, step by step, in the so-called group of "cgartists".
I haven`t abandon the classic techniques, but for the moment
I want to experience and to improve this style. I also appeared
on some other CG forums, which`s links you will find on this
site.
2005 was a very happy year for me, I got married and I finally
finished my studies at the Art Faculty. For the moment I start to be a freelancer aand what`s going to happen from now on? Changes, professionally
speaking, and many more others I hope. Nice to meet you and
take care.
If anyone intrested I started a blog too. not big dealh, just some personal things and links. My english are very bad and sorry for that, but I need to learn. Just click the image:
