This art director, born in Iran, is another one of our favorite artists to collaborate on our #BeAnArtist 2019 campaign, inspired, as we have been, by artist David Hockney’s “A Bigger Splash”. Our Bond Sun sunglasses also show up in his work.
Farid Ghanbari was born and raised in Iran, but has lived in the United States since 2016. He has been working with 3D animation and lighting for 10 years, spanning such diverse areas as advertising, video games, architecture, motion design, and VFX. Most recently, he has been Art Director at 3fxanimation, an animation studio that breathes life into all of the science and technology it discovers. Not only that, he also gives tutorials and classes on RenderBurguer.com.
Farid knows how to play with everyday objects, shapes, and textures to create animations and images inspired by a broad range of different concepts.
