"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep"
Hi, My name is Urun Sarachoglou, a London based motion graphic & 3D artist. Growing up the two things that fascinated me the most were art and technology as both disciplines allowed me the freedom to express my creativity and emotion. Finding 2D/3D was like finding the perfect fusion of artistic and technological expression.
