The 2nd Prize Winner of the 2024 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, Digital Art Award: @vzewl with their work, "The Bee's Knees", DAZ Studio, Blender and Cycles
VZEWL, Pronounced visual, is a 30 year old 3D artist from Ontario, Canada. They began their 3D journey at the age of 13 and have been creating ever since. Primarily self-taught, they have honed their craft over the years, especially in the realm of portraiture, where their characters convey deep emotions and complex feelings. VZEWL grapples with emotional struggles, and finds that expressing these through their artwork provides a powerful way to communicate their inner experiences to others. "When I create, I cease to be myself. I don't like my own work. But I know that VZEWL does. It is an interesting dichotomy that I have really enjoyed observing. It helps that I have an absolute fascination with psychology, and I think that those things go hand in hand quite nicely."
