The Creative Journey
SRB's artistic journey began at a very young

musical expression by the age of seven. Photography naturally
emerged as his primary creative outlet, providing an expansive canvas for
artistic exploration and personal expression.
In 2010, he initiated his digital presence through a
personal photography blog, beginning his visual documentation with a Kodak
EC200 film camera before transitioning to a Nikon Coolpix S300
point-and-shoot camera, methodically developing his distinctive artistic
voice and technical proficiency.
Following his academic foundation, SRB
pursued specialized education in Animation and Multimedia—a pivotal
decision that would fundamentally shape his professional trajectory and
creative methodology. Over a transformative 16-year period, he
has cultivated exceptional expertise as a Computer Graphics Artist,
achieving mastery in 360° VR content creation, Motion Graphics, Audio-Video
