I’m Aytek Gurkan
Art has been a constant presence in my life since the moment I first picked up a pencil to draw. After graduating from high school, I followed my passion and applied to art schools in Istanbul. I ended up studying Art Management, which gave me a strong foundation in the theoretical aspects of curatorial studies.
However, a part of me always yearned for more hands-on creative work in illustration and design. To pursue this passion, I took matters into my own hands and taught myself graphic design by working in the field. Today, I am proud to call myself a freelance CGI artist, specializing in computer-generated graphics and visualizations. I thrive on the challenge of creating stunning and realistic images that bring my clients’ visions to life.
My work is a fusion of artistry and technology, blending my innate creativity with cutting-edge software and techniques. I am constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in CGI, seeking out new challenges and pushing myself to learn and grow as an artist. Whether I am working on a large-scale commercial project or a more intimate artistic endeavor, I approach every job with the same level of dedication and attention to detail. For me, art is not just a hobby or a job – it is a way of life.
WORK PROCESS
When I take on a project, the first thing I do is understand the product/project and what the client need. At this point, asking the right questions is the most important part that is going to lead me and the client to the final result.
When we have mutual agreement on the direction, I will start to write and sketch around, and look for interesting ideas. What would make a great connection between the project and image? How to create an illustration that is appealing and unique at the same time?
When I come up with the ideas, I create the sketches and share them with the client. At this stage, feedbacks are very important to lead the project to the final product. Before going into finals, I took all the necessary feedbacks from the client and apply them to the project. If everything is accepted, I’ll send the images with various sizes that client needs.
