I’m Alex Kulikov, a VFX supervisor and compositor based in London.
I work mainly on CGI-heavy commercials, combining supervision with hands-on compositing from early tests through final delivery.
I came to visual effects through an early passion for art and code, and I’ve never treated them as separate disciplines. Deciding what to render and what to solve in 2D, writing tools for repetitive work, judging light and colour in the final image: it’s one job.
Over the years, I’ve contributed to projects recognised at the Emmy Awards, Cannes Lions, D&AD, British Arrows, AICP and Ciclope. I’ve also won multiple VES Awards for compositing and visual effects, alongside further nominations.
In computer graphics since 2004. In visual effects for advertising since 2009.

Crafting visuals while solving complex problems puts me somewhere between affection and frustration. I’ve always liked that state, where the work starts telling you where to go. I call it pixel-loving.
I don’t wait for notes to improve a shot. I keep looking, adjusting and pushing until it feels right, from the overall balance down to the last few pixels.
