ABOUT
|
Hello, my name is Domen Dimovski and I am the founder of Caligo FX, my online portfolio and motion design / visual effects resource site.
I discovered the world of 3D animation around year 2009 and have been an active CG artist ever since. First aim with this website was to post my personal and professional explorations in 3D, sharing digital renders and producing advanced tutorials and exciting products for motion design and visual effects community, but it gradually expanded in exploration of different creative possibilities in classical art, film & animation and in contemporary art. My projects are now located somewhere in the fields of art & design, philosophy and film or animation narrative. In 2019, I completed my master's degree from Video and New media at Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. For my full biography visit my personal page. |
Art is my primary interest. I understand it as invention-procedures, which includes on the one hand passion for the pictorial dimension of still or motion images and on the other hand thinking and contemplating philosophy of reality. From Plato's time we know, that good art form can reveal more real, more extraordinary reality than reality that we know from everyday noise of mythology.
I am also interested in different levels of meaning-making processes, from design theory, gestalt principles and colour theory to art of storytelling. All of which I combine with conceptual system of cognitive science, which studies perception, memory, emotions, consciousness, learning and neuroscience behind that. Between reading books from fields of narration, philosophy, and psychoanalysis I also like to write short essays. If you are interested and you speak Slovene, head over to Pisane-topike.
I'm based in Kranj, Slovenia. To find out more about my work head over to portfolio.
