Raphael Lacoste, 2D-3D CG Artist, CG Lighter, Matte Painter, Art Director
Wreck of Esperance (detail). 3D computer graphics illustration. Raphael Lacoste. Inspired by the work of Gaspard-David Friedrich.
Raphael Lacoste (Paris, France, 1974) is Computer Graphics Artist, a CG Lighter, a Matte Painter and works as an Art Director for a cinematic studio but is also available for free-lance work.
One sentence stroke me in the home page of his Website:
“I hope you’ll feel my particular attachment to scenery and background”
Mr. Lacoste has indeed a developed sense for depicting sceneries and panoramas with the digital medium. Especially in giving the right atmosphere to backgrounds through a unique use of lighting. Some of his ispiration comes from past fine arts masters as the german romantic painter Gaspard-David Friedrich. I absolutely love this intense traditional artist and Raphael Lacoste is paying true tributes to his mastery with his own works of art.
