My name is Felipe Chamorro, also called Splendor. I’m from Chile, South America but live in Sweden, Gothenburg. Before that, I lived in a City named Kungälv. I came to Sweden as a little boy, and now I’m 42 years old. I’m a Swedish citizen as well Chilean.

I’m from the beginning a 3D Generalist and have a specialization within the 3d world, which is hard surface design and modeling. I have my company for about 8-9 years. And I have recently set myself up for Freelance which is a fun thing to make more connections and also for growth as an artist and person.

I’m also very interested in the Automotive world and now learning Unreal Engine for Automotive Visualization.

When a look for inspiration, they are so much talent but especially Syd Mead, Scott Robertsson, Christian Grajewski, Andrian Luchian, Michael Black, Furio Tedeschi, Daniel Simon, Ben Erdt and of course Vitaly Bulgarov. These artists are my main inspiration for keeping me working harder at my art.

When it comes to Software, well, the software is just a tool but if you get really good at it, it makes it easier to make your art, which means practice, practice, and practice. I frequently use Autodesk Maya, Maxon Redshift, Adobe Photoshop, Davinci Resolve, Substance 3D Painter, and Affinity Designer.

The software I use a little less is Adobe After Effects, Maxon ZBrush, Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher, Adobe Illustrator, Alchemy, and Moi3d. I speak three languages fluently, Spanish, English, and Swedish.

It’s a process, and the process is not given! It’s given by doing! – Felipe Chamorro
