3DA: Tell us something about a project that gave you great satisfactions

MT: I’m really proud of Dubai Tuscan Villa which designed and created by me six months ago. Actually most of my projects tend to Italian style with oriental touch, but I think this one is very close to my biggest challenge is that how to design comfortable spaces with beauty to appear like a dream. On the other hand, this project won The “Best Visualization of the Week” from Ronen Bekerman’s forums and it’s has been chosen on frontpage in most CG forums with a lot of admiration and stunning feedback. People wrote about it many articles in popular architectural sites like homedesigning.com and adelto.co.uk.

3DA: From where do you take ispiration for your artworks?

MT: I cannot define one source for my inspiration, I am usually inspired by the people and the nature around me. Usually when I embark on a project, I first try to understand what the purpose of the building will be and its geographical, environmental and cultural contexts .The client and the project context are, I would say, the greatest inspiration. By understanding these key elements I can find the best 3D visual solutions.
