Zhenzhen Cao motion graphic designer, photographer and CGI artist creating 3D parallel dimensions

Zhenzhen Cao was born in 1991 in Shandong, China and currently is based in Paris. Graduated from the Spéos Paris Photography School. As a graphic and motion designer, Buddhism had a great influence on her, she often practiced introspection.

‘’I gradually understood that we not only have eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and body to perceive the world, we also have a powerful receiver of cosmic signals, which is right inside us, and we don't notice it. Most of my works are inspired by my inner perception of this universe, and I visualize my feelings through photography, 3D, and I want to share them with you.’’

My first graphic design project was created in college when I was about 23 or 24 years old.

Being based in Paris, what is your education background in terms of graphic design?

I studied Visual Communication at university. I graduated with a Master’s degree in digital art direction and photography in Paris.

What is so exciting behind creating 3D illustrations?

3D is like a free dimension for me, where I can realize my ideas as much as I want. It’s like a game taken very seriously.

What are some of the biggest challenges, in your opinion, that digital creatives will be facing as we transition to Web3?

I think copyright is an issue in web 3.0. There are no laws to protect the copyright of creators on virtual art platforms. There are many art works that are stolen and sold, but the artist cannot defend his rights.
