FRÉDÉRICK ALVES-CUNHA

CHARACTER SCULPTOR – ILLUMINATION MACGUFF – CLASS OF 2009

Frédérick Alves-Cunha, also known as “FREDUS”, is a French character development artist who has been working in the animation industry for over ten years. A graduate of École Méliès (Class of 2009), he has collaborated with major studios, notably Illumination Entertainment, where he works as a Character Sculptor.

He has also worked as a Character Art Director at Mikros Animation and Superprod Animation.

His love for sculpture and cartoons naturally led him to specialise in character creation.

Alongside his full-time work in animation, he enjoys drawing and sculpting characters using traditional methods.

When Frédérick is not at the Parisian studios, he lives in the Picardy countryside with his family, a small workshop, and his vegetable garden.
