FIVE MINUTES WITH PEDRO CONTI

The director, production designer and 3D vis-dev artist reveals that music was his first creative outlet...

- 

Where did your artistic journey start? In Brazil, when I was just a kid. My first passion in art was music. It felt like a safe place where I could connect with myself in a meaningful way. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I went from playing the flute to the trumpet, then the acoustic guitar, and finally the electric guitar. It was in high school that I discovered drawing through two friends, which led me to 3D animation in 2005.

What's your main source of inspiration?

It's life as a whole. Making art isn’t a choice - it’s my way of processing and navigating life. It started as a lifestyle and eventually became my work. I'd say people, architecture and everyday routines are my biggest sources of inspiration.
