About

It’s pretty hard to describe myself – even harder when you need to be concise! My name is Efim Armand, I’m a 3d artist from Russia currently working for ArX Solutions in Miami. Doesn’t matter if it’s digital art, traditional art, 3d or 2d, animation or music… I simply love art. And that passion has always motivated me to keep pushing my limits and to always be looking for more knowledge, improving myself as an artist.
