Summary

Concept Artist and Illustrator working in the entertainment industry since 2017. Former Concept Artist at VOLTA, with freelance illustration work for CD PROJEKT RED, Paizo, Mana Project Studio and other publishers.

My work focuses on character concept art, character design, fantasy illustration, 3D characters and assets, art direction and texturing. I co-founded Revik Studio with my business partner and work as Creator and Lead Artist on FADE OUT, our first cooperative horror game, with a realistic fantasy art direction. My responsibilities cover art direction, concept art, illustration, character and asset creation, 3D modeling, texturing and implementation of visual assets in the game. FADE OUT is scheduled for release on Steam in late October 2026.

Concept art and illustration are the focus of my practice, supported by hands-on experience with the game-art pipeline.

Based in Italy. Available for international remote roles in character concept art, illustration and 3D character or asset art, including full-time roles, contracts and freelance collaborations. Experienced in collaborating with international clients through written communication.
