A course by Santiago Moriv
Columbian-born Santiago Morales studied visual design at the Fundación Universitaria Bellas Artes. Better known on social media as Santiago Moriv, his curiosity for the visual world, along with his talent, has led him to work as a designer, illustrator, concept artist, and even as a tattoo artist.
He is most passionate about video games because of the stories, settings, and characters that unfold within them, and he uses these worlds to create ideas, concepts, and color palettes for his personal and professional work. He is currently an art director at Makata Studio, specialized in motion graphics, 3D, and AR.
