3D Artist Matías Vivanco Brellenthin Builds Entire Dreamworlds in Purple, One Surreal Blender Scene at a Time

Matías Vivanco Brellenthin is a 3D digital artist and director from Santiago, Chile. He specializes in surreal sci-fi and fantasy imagery built entirely in Blender, and has worked with clients including Nissan, NVIDIA, Lil Nas X, and TCHAMI.

Brellias started in 2017 making posters purely to practice color and composition, and has since developed a distinctive visual signature dominated by pink, blue, and especially purple — a color he chose specifically because it represents the resolution of conflict, “the merging of red and blue, bad and good, the warm in the cold and the cold in the warm.” His recurring themes are emotions, nostalgia, human connection, nature, and abandonment, often expressed through impossible, physics-defying compositions that mix everyday objects with fantastical, dreamlike settings — his NVIDIA-featured piece “Estrellitas” (“little stars”), for example, shows a young girl holding stars in her hand with a conflicted expression, exploring the joy and pain that come with curiosity.

His style is frequently described as blending vaporwave and cyberpunk aesthetics, and he works primarily in Blender and Photoshop, publishing new conceptual pieces on a near-weekly basis for album covers, films, music videos, and personal projects. Beyond his own art, Brellias teaches 3D illustration through a Domestika course, “Fantastic 3D Illustration with Blender,” and has been featured alongside major digital-art names like Beeple and Fvckrender in showcases of contemporary CGI art.
