About & experience
Alfonso Escalona.
Art and production, together.
I’m a Senior Unreal Engine Technical Artist based in Spain, working internationally across lighting, environments, cinematics and real-time visualization.
I combine visual direction with hands-on technical work: scene assembly, lighting, materials, camera composition, Blueprints and real-time optimization.
My background spans architectural visualization, commercial imagery, virtual production, interactive environments and real-time cinematics. Unreal Engine is now at the centre of my work across product visualization, environments and cinematic presentation.
Based in Spain · Available for remote international collaboration.

In practice
Unreal Engine
at the centre.
Almost all of my current work is built in Unreal Engine, with Sequencer for cinematic sequences and Blueprints for interaction and technical art. Lighting, material development and environment composition connect the different parts of my practice.
