About

Ondrej Špánik

Born in Piešťany, schooled in Trenčín, studying in Bratislava. Since I was little I have been drawn to experiments, and that grew into two opposite directions: technical and artistic.

My name is pronounced “Andrei”.

The day I got my first computer pulled me completely into the digital world, where creativity has no walls. Today the two directions finally meet: I design in 3D, wire what I design and prompt the machines that help me build it.
