Jacob Stillman

Nature, Reflection & Memory

A look into what drives my passion

Jacob Stillman (@stillmanvisual) crafts surreal worlds at the intersection of memory, nature, and imagination.

A self-taught 3D artist and motion designer, his creative journey began in Manhattan’s fast-paced design scene, where a foundation in graphic design sharpened his eye for composition and detail — eventually opening the door to new dimensions of creative expression through 3D mediums.

Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Stillman finds enduring inspiration in the natural world and the solitude it offers.

His works, marked by intricate detail and vivid color palettes, explore themes of memory, reflection, and emotional connection through surreal interpretations of nature.

Over the past six years, Stillman’s distinctive style and commitment to innovation have earned him international recognition, with exhibitions spanning New York, Montreal, Miami, Berlin, Tokyo, Shanghai, and beyond.
