Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Gervasio's artistic journey began at an early age, under the guidance of his grandfather, a painter and sculptor, who introduced him to the world of form and color. This early influence laid the groundwork for a creative career that spanned multiple disciplines. He participated in art clubs, refining his creativity and technique by engaging with talented artists who became close friends and colleagues.
His curiosity led him to pursue an academic path in architecture, and he graduated as an architect, gaining expertise in space design, user interaction, and functionality, but his curiosity drove him to explore animation and video games.
Over the years, he collaborated with companies to create visually compelling and boundary-pushing projects. As Senior Concept Artist at Epic Games for Fortnite and Art Director at Ojo Raro Animation, Gervasio’s work shines through in projects like Carne de Dios. Released in 2023, the short film has won over 40 awards, was long-listed for the Oscars, and nominated for the Annies. Following its success, he co-wrote and co-directed Luz Diabla (2024), further solidifying his standing in the industry.
Gervasio’s skills in Unreal Engine, unity and 3D spatial design, influenced by his architectural background, contribute to his work in creating immersive visual experiences. His world-building expertise is evident in VR titles like Paper Birds and Eggscape. He is now Art Director for the VR project ZIX with HIDDEN IO.
As a partner at Ojo Raro, Gervasio continues to push the boundaries of design, animation, and video games. His move to Montreal introduced him to a new multicultural environment that fuels his creativity. With a focus on teamwork, originality, and storytelling, he remains committed to creating innovative visual narratives and exploring new frontiers in audiovisual media.
