Luca Nemolato

Lead Concept Artist at Absurd Ventures & Freelance Senior Concept Artist

Luca Nemolato is an Italian Concept Artist currently working at Absurd Ventures, with professional experience across film, television, video games, and commercials in both Italy and the US.


Luca began his artistic education in Italy, studying fine art with a focus on painting and sculpting, graduating in 2010. He then moved to Los Angeles to continue his training under renowned concept artists such as Jerad Marantz and Aaron Sims, further honing his skills in world-building and visual storytelling.


He has contributed to a wide range of high-profile projects, including The Shape of Water, Tron: Ares, Jungle Cruise, Black Adam, HBO’s Westworld, and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, establishing a reputation for imaginative, cinematic, and immersive concept art.

  • Luca’s design sense is exceptional, and it’s remarkable to see such mastery was there from a young age. His self-discipline and passion for design have shaped him into the artist he is today. In few years from now, Luca's creature will be in every film that you enjoyed.

  • Luca has always impressed me with his unique style in concept design. In his time at the Aaron Sims Company, I was consistently captivated by his designs and his exceedingly wide range of skills. He brought a distinct perspective to each project, and it was a pleasure to have him on our team. Luca is an adroit artist, and I look forward in seeing where his talent takes him.

  • Luca Nemolato is one of the best. He embodies not only a mind for design but also one that works out the function of how everything works. His design sense is simple, bold, and graphic.

  • Luca Nemolato is one of the best! I first met Luca when he took my Creature Design class at Gnomon School several years ago, and he was already pretty damn good. I’ve watched him grow into an incredible and highly in-demand artist and designer. He’s also one of my favorite coworkers! He’s a constant professional and generous collaborator. Can’t wait to see what he does next!
