About me

Hi, I’m Inès, a Concept Art student at New3dge (class of ’28).

I’m passionate about history, art, and video games, which is why I chose concept art, to bring all of these interests together in one creative and stimulating practice.

In the future, I’d like to join a team where I can use my artistic and professional skills while continuing to learn and grow.

Steel Apostles

For this project, I wanted to give tangible form to the idea of total war, with paroxysm itself becoming a state of the world. The medieval aesthetic is far from being absurd. Throughout the writings and symbols associated with this war, we find numerous references to a romanticized and idealized vision of the Middle Ages, an era often glorified for its religious fanaticism and culture of sacrifice.

Above the Clouds

This is my New3dge art test. The theme was “Above the Cloud.” This exercise required speed and efficiency, and it helped me improve my creative process.
