About me
Cédric Van den Plas
Artist name: Tembs
Born in 1981 in Etterbeek (Brussels)
lives in Schaerbeek (Brussels)
GRADUATED IN DIGITAL ARTS in 2005 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tournai.
[designer, animator, graphic designer, photographer, painter, videographer]
" Tembs " of his artist name, he obtained a license in Digital Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tournai. There he assimilates the computer techniques required for the development of 2D and 3D projects, both in fixed and animated imagery, and develops both his critical mind and his artistic talents.
Passionate and inspired by the hip-hop movement, he became
a driving force from 2005 to 2010 with the ASBL Legal Sounds dedicated to the promotion of Belgian rap artists. He is also involved in it through the realization of projects (video / graphics / web) for a good number of artists and musical structures.
As a computer graphics designer he has been able to develop over the years his skills on the following software: Illustrator / Animate / Première Pro / After Effects / Photoshop / InDesign.
An inveterate draftsman, he belatedly took a liking to painting and tries to devote more time to this medium which he hopes to develop much more.
If we had to summarize his sources of inspiration, Hip-hop, surrealism and the video game world would be the keywords.
