Summary
With more than 25 years of experience in Concept Art, Digital Matte Painting and CG Environments, I’ve had the chance to work as an entrepreneur (STARNO.net), art director, supervisor and department lead in several well-established VFX studios.
Over the years, I’ve contributed to a wide range of film, episodic and gaming projects. My approach tends to be straightforward, methodical and collaborative, and I place a strong emphasis on clarity, efficiency and good communication within a team.
Film and episodic credits include: Stranger Things, The Amazing Spider-Man, Pacific Rim, The Lone Ranger, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Silent Hill, Babel, Sin City, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
Game credits include: Far Cry, Iron Man, Fallout, Call of Duty, Dishonored.
Areas of focus: Matte Painting, CG Environment, Concept Art, Art Direction and Supervision.
