A Journey to Concept Art

 Self-portrait  My name is Tiago Nunes and im a student at the DMUIC Art and Design Foundation Year.  Im 23 and i come from Setúbal, Portugal. I love art and nature and everything in between them.

There are plenty of artists that inspire me, however, the more recent ones are Mike Mignola, Saga Mariah, Julliete Brocal and Jeremy Sorrel.
