Peter Tarka Turns Simple 3D Shapes Into Playful, Polished Worlds That Make Global Brands Feel Impossible to Ignore

Peter Tarka, a London-based creative director, 3D artist, and illustrator who builds crisp, playful CGI worlds for global brands. Originally from Warsaw, he is known for turning simple shapes, vivid color, typography, and surreal product-scale objects into images that feel instantly polished and slightly impossible.
His work sits at the intersection of illustration, art direction, 3D design, motion, and advertising. The goal is not realism for its own sake. Instead, he uses realism — believable material, light, shadow, and surface — to make an abstract or playful idea feel physically present. His studio, Grate Studio, produces high-end 3D illustration and visual campaigns for clients including Apple, Nike, Sony, Porsche, Google, Audi, BMW, Samsung, Adobe, Airbnb, LG, and Spotify.
