Gonzalo (Toshi) is an exceptional artist and designer. In this digital age and space he has a unique ability to conceive and translate ideas into digital context - from renderings to animation. However he is also a skilled fine artist-- a perfect resource for illustrating ideas, concepts and spaces. He brings ideas to visual life. I think I speak for everyone at VP+C when I say that we recommend him and I am happy to speak further with anyone who wishes to dive deeper into his capabilities.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gonzalo for over 8 years, and he is both super talented and a gentle spirit. While English may be his second language, he always takes the time to understand concepts and can bring any idea to life visually, whether it’s a quick sketch, detailed floor plan, or full rendering. He shines in a collaborative environment and adds incredible value when he’s part of the process from the start, even joining site visits to help shape ideas in real time. I highly recommend getting to know Gonzalo and bringing him into your team or projects… you’ll be glad you did.
I have had the privilege of overseeing numerous teams alongside Gonzalo over the past twenty years on various projects. His ability to transform abstract ideas and rough sketches into clear, impactful visualizations, renderings, and animations is genuinely exceptional. He has a rare talent for taking concepts that are often only loosely described and bringing them to life in a way that resonates deeply with others. Gonzalo’s work not only helps others see what might be possible but also makes those ideas unforgettable. I had the chance to witness some of his animated video-mapping on the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi years ago, and it was a stunning example of his artistic vision. What stands out about Gonzalo, beyond his incredible skill, is his humility. He is not driven by ego or the need for recognition, but by a genuine passion for his craft. He is a truly remarkable artist and a wonderful person to work with.
