Meet the crew

The main mission of our crew is raising the bar of architectural designs to the level of artistic work with huge storytelling value. We are not just CGI artists, we are also architects, designers and visionaries. We are Pictown.

 

Frantisek Kudivani Co‑founder and CEO

Frantisek Kudivani
Sometime in 2014 during snowboarding and looking for powder snow in Slovakian mountains a thought was born in his head to build strong archviz team. Frantisek is architect, visionar, ex-breakdancer and skater. He loves designing his own sci-fi concepts. In alternative universe Frantisek would be concept artist for Hollywood movies.

Viera Kudivani Co‑founder

Viera Kudivani
She was at the birth of the idea of founding Pictown and together with Frantisek started to work on first jobs alongside her architecture studies. She always thinks a few moves ahead what she learned from chess tournaments. Nowadays, as a mother, instead of crocheting and embroidery, she makes visualisations. Sometimes she is a diseased perfectionist and she likes order not only in the apartment, but also in 3D scenes.

Hai Trong Nguyen Partner

Hai Trong Nguyen
Hai is an inseparable part of the team since the creation of Pictown. His years of experience in CGI makes him a rendering machine that does not know the limits and does not stop that easily. His superpower is his speed in creating visualizations. He's a fanatic to new technology. He is interested in psychology and space. He has an excelent overview of the current economic and political situation. Sometimes he enjoys long discussions about life...

Lucia Hudakova Architect and CGI artist

Lucia Hudakova
Lucia is one of the first members of our team. She came as total beginner to then empty spaces of our office where in complete solitude and quiet she found her inner peace and strong relationship with CGI. After a short time she became a true CGI monster. Besides that she is a passionate traveler, lover of italian culture, art, good food, architecture and movies. She loves minimalism and the color gray. She speaks German, Hungarian and Italian, preferably with a glass of wine.

Pavol Cickan Architect and CGI Artist

Pavol Cickan
In times before Pictown he worked as a creature modeler for games, CG generalist for movies and animator. Pavol is huge fan of concept art and matte painting. His dream is to create a short movie, so he gradually collects more and more tools to his arsenal. He loves long walks on the beach and dinners under the stars, but he also loves learning in the fields of CGI and science, so he's basically "romantic nerd".

Jan Visnovsky Cinematographer and CGI artist

Jan Visnovsky
Johnny is the youngest member of our team, but with very strong CGI skills, as he started to experiment with 3D softwares when he was 10 years old. He also loves to tinker with photography, VFX and basically digital content creating. He sees the world in polygons, textures and has all the signs of typical "CGI nerd". Growing up in a village leaved some marks on his soul. He loves nature, creating stuff from wood or metal and also he is a promising archer.

Martina Cibereova Designer and CGI Artist

Martina Cibereova
Tina is a designer who shows a great interest in various forms of design. Among the last ones was CGI creation, so her steps led to Pictown, where she discovered a new world. Her strong sense of detail and perfectionism were features she could fully use to create architectural visualizations. She is lover of art, architecture, from antiquity to the present and all sci-fi and fantasy films.

Peter Buco Architect and CGI Artist

Peter Buco
The portrait painter, who diverged from 2D world to 3D. Peter is Slovak by birth but Norwegian by heart as he loves roadtrips around the north of Europe, especially Norway. During these trips he takes many photos of landscapes which he later uses in matte painting, his new found love. To break the CGI routine he sometimes goes cycling or swimming.

Jan Malik Architect and CGI Artist

Jan Malik
Jan is Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. As a child he was fan of 3D, innocent at first with LEGO bricks from which he created his own worlds. Later it was games and 3D softwares. He compensate the long hours behind the computer with sports as basketball, snowboarding, skiing and cycling. Jan is an architect and downhill biker, so we can basically describe him with oxymoron - Sporty nerd.
