Hi, my name is Carlos Basto (Carlos Iván Basto Durán), i'm currently a 17 years old student. Vanleith is an anagram of my second name "Ivan", replacing the "I" for a lowercase "l" and adding "eith" at the end to achieve phonetic harmony. I'm a Surrealist and Fantasy Artist, making both Traditional and Digital Artworks. I'd like to expand my field as an artist, trying new things to me like Photography and 3D Modeling. I aspire to be a nice Matte Painter someday (: And well...i don't really know what more should i say. I'll leave it like this by now.
Thanks for taking the time to read it
