🎨 Artist of the week
Ovidiu Antonio is a young artist passionate about 3D art and graphic design. For him, art is the means through which he can freely express his feelings and ideas in a more stylized and perhaps even deeper way.
He is currently focused on 3D art, mainly 3D illustrations, and has recently started studying zBrush to take his artwork to the next level.
The event that introduced him to the world of 3D art was Creative Hacks by Mirinda, where he had the opportunity to make his first 3D artwork.
One project he is proud of is the "ITZY – Surf" poster collection that was exhibited in Itaewon, South Korea.
Ovidiu is one of the talented young artists that we firmly believe you will hear more of in the future.
You can find him on Instagram and LinkedIn or, more details, here.
