How a self-taught artist became a concept designer for blockbusters like The Avengers and Spider-Man: No Way Home

Concept art by Maciej Kuciara.

Maciej Kuciara is proof that you don’t need to attend expensive, prestigious schools to make it as a concept artist. Now based in the US, the Polish-born artist and director grew up on 90s VHS tapes and anime, taught himself art and went on to work as a concept designer for major video games and blockbuster movies.

After starting out in 2003, Maciej landed his first concept art job in 2004 at People Can Fly. After a decade in games, working at Crytek and on Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us and CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077, he transitioned into film. That led to work with Hollywood studios on projects like Avengers, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ghost in the Shell, among others.
