– What do you think are the positives of being involved in Concept Art?
Concept Art is a wonderful form of decoding ideas and translating them into images. It is a beautiful world of communication and a language to be taught. Learning a new language can broaden one’s horizons and of course one’s range of possibilities.
Through Concept Art, the student acquires a new interpretive view of things, prefers critical thinking through creativity and is liberated. I think it is one of the most enjoyable parts of production in video games that people should experience, at least once, whether they are amateurs or professionals. Think about how beautiful it is to be able to draw anything you can imagine on a piece of paper!

– What are the professional possibilities for a Concept Artist?
The possibilities are endless. Indicatively some of them are: Character creator for video games, boardgames, live-action and animated films, commercials, infographics, apps, material designer for performances such as costume and set design, illustrator, cartoonist, etc. There really is a huge range of professional possibilities that with the rise of technology and virtual reality we don’t know exactly where they can go.

– Can you give any advice for those who are just starting out in the industry and want to turn their hobby into a profession?
All I would say is to have dreams and set goals. Small goals that he will slowly realize them. Dreams without a program and goals remain in the ideal. But they become reality if one slowly tries to reach them through small actions. Dreaming, setting goals and trying to achieve them.

– Finally, would you like to reveal your future plans?
I have a lot of ideas. For now, together with GGA, I would like to raise awareness as much as possible about the value and importance of Esports and educate as many students as possible.
I think that in Greece there is still, a little ignorance about our industry.
The only way to fight ignorance, stereotypes and prejudices in Esports is through information and education. So we are looking at a broader educational context to highlight Esports in the country.
I believe that GGA is well suited, along with its qualified staff to promote this industry through its innovative and specific programs.
I am glad to be a member!
