The highly talented artist has a creative flair and attention to lighting and materials that makes him stand out among the crowd. Also a passionate storyteller, Nicholson looks to inject character and narrative into every one of his works.
You describe yourself as a passion-driven and obsessive creator. How did your world become connected with that of 3D visualisation?
I’ve always had a love and an appreciation for 3D, design and photorealism, but when I was younger I didn’t know of a way to combine the three. Like so many others, my introduction to 3D was from playing video games, but I learned very early on that the video game industry wasn’t the one for me.
Instead, I decided to pursue a generalist 3D/animation degree, and in my first job after school Ione in the form of visualisation. Since that discovery, it’s been my passion for about eight years.
