Fabian Aerts — Creative Director

Featured work UNFOLD

Fabian Aerts is a Belgium-based senior creative director and 3D artist whose cinematic motion work spans Elastic, MediaMonks, and Psyop, for brands like Adobe, Netflix, and Xbox.

Across 10 catalogued projects, Fabian's range covers FA - Showreel17, Intrusion #6, Intrusion #9, Luciad - Interact and more, with every entry pointing to the artist's original source rather than a rehosted copy. The set runs through UNFOLD, MIRAGE, UNSEEN, WONDER, among others, and every thumbnail sends you to the artist's site, not a reposted file.

Keeping coverage of designers like Fabian tied to Belgium rather than a generic style taxonomy is a bias toward the particular this publication has tried to hold onto through every redesign.

Fabian Aerts is a senior creative director, motion designer, and 3D artist based in Belgium, with more than fifteen years directing cinematic motion. He has worked through some of the field's best-known studios, Elastic, MediaMonks, Psyop, Laundry, and Unit Motion among them, on brand work for Adobe, Netflix, Xbox, Dell, and Longines. His frames trade in what he calls poetic, evocative imagery, work that sits on the boundary between reality and imagination.

That boundary is the interesting part. Aerts treats 3D cinematography as a storytelling tool rather than a rendering exercise, and since 2023 he has moved deeper into AI-generated filmmaking, extending the same evocative sensibility into a new medium. His first solo show ran at W1Curates in London, and his work has been featured on Motionographer and Stash.

We feature Aerts because his frames are a study in mood over detail. A dominant color temperature and a few strong shapes do more for a feeling than a screen full of ornament, the same lesson that keeps an interface's tone coherent. His portfolio at fabianaerts.com, along with his ArtStation and Vimeo, holds the full body of commercial and personal work, and it is worth studying for anyone learning to make an image feel like more than the sum of its geometry.
