Hello - I’m Elizaveta, a Salt Lake City–based CG Artist drawn to storytelling that lives in shadows, atmosphere, and the quiet details most people overlook. My work exists in the space between reality and imagination, where texture, light, and environment intertwine to shape worlds that feel lived-in, layered, and undeniably alive.

I gravitate toward darker, moodier tones — the kind that hint at stories just beneath the surface. Whether I’m developing a character's look or sculpting an environment's mood, I’m always searching for that cinematic moment when everything aligns: the light, the emotion, the stillness. The moment that makes you wonder what came before…and what might come next.

I’m also a proud graduate of the Gnomon School of VFX, Games, and Animation - a place that allowed me to refine my craft and elevate my skills in ways I never imagined. My time there shaped not only the technical foundation I rely on, but also the artistic lens through which I see the worlds I create.

When I’m not crafting digital worlds, I’m often exploring Salt Lake City, meeting new people, riding horses, or gathering the fragments of real life that eventually find their way back into my work.

If you’d like to collaborate or step inside a world I’m building, feel free to reach out — I’m always open to a good conversation.
