About

I'm a character artist based in Barcelona, originally from Tel Aviv. My work sits at the intersection of anatomy study and material craft — I care as much about how a jacket has been worn as I do about the face beneath it.

Over the past 3 years I've worked across indie game production and cinematics, taking characters from early sculpt through to final render, including hair, cloth and skin shading.
