FOCUSED, INDUSTRY SPECIFIC CURRICULUM

As a freelance traditional and digital sculptor, Raúl García Latorre is a "looking forward" artist focused on improving and doing new things.

Raúl is currently living in the south of Spain, working as a freelance traditional and digital sculptor.

​He started his professional career in the 90's when he was very young. As someone who loved to paint his models, he soon found himself creating and sculpting his own figures. He has developed as a traditional sculptor for almost 20 years now, working for most of the companies in the miniature figure industry.

He recently moved to digital sculpting in 2015, as he realized digital is already a new standard in most of the industries. He is actually working in the collectibles statues industry. But he is really open to new fields.

He really doesn't like to look back at his past, he is more of a "looking forward" artist and focuses on improving and doing new things.

Along the way, he was lucky to found his own miniatures companies, Latorre Models, Enigma Miniatures and lately Mproyec, where he did what he really desired to do in that time.

​This is truly a new period and he is very excited to see what the future comes up with.
