Executive Creative Director x New Media Art

About

Executive Creative Director specializing in New Media Art. My work involves creating exhibitions, experiences, and projects focused on advanced technology. My approach encompasses the conceptualization and execution of projects, combining my skills in creative direction, team supervision, and direct client management. With over 10 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working on numerous international projects, collaborating with incredibly talented individuals. I am fascinated by music with character, hyper-realistic CGI, and bold artistic expressions.

Statement


I am forever exploring new narrative horizons to unravel the mysteries posed by the contemporary world. In this quest, cutting-edge technology and Art are my best allies, guiding me in crafting concepts that can lead to a renewed perception of reality. I believe each project has its own sun, its reason for existence. My primary mission is to discover this uniqueness and propel it through Art to reveal its true light.

Tabula rasa. Only through profound changes can we find the truth, which is, in the end, the raw material of all creative work and the driving force of my quest.
