About

Hi everyone! I'm Leonardo Manduca, a 3D artist based in Rome, specializing in lighting and compositing, with a strong generalist background across the CG pipeline.

I've worked on an award winning short film and a mid length RAI special, and I'm currently collaborating with Studio Rain on an animated feature film for cinema. Through these experiences I've developed a solid understanding of animation pipelines, focusing on lighting and comp for both master shots and secondary shots.

Having lived and studied in Italy, Colombia, Japan, and Spain, I bring an international and cross cultural perspective to every project I work on. My journey has taught me adaptability, collaboration, and the importance of creativity as a shared language.

I'm curious, dynamic, and always seeking new ways to connect cultures through sharing experiences and visual art.
