Overview I'm seeking an experienced 3D designer to help bring my art exhibition *Beyond Canvas* to life in a virtual gallery format. The gallery is designed to be an immersive, intimate online experience and will host around 20 symbolic, surrealist, and emotionally resonant paintings—across four themed rooms. The goal is to create a walkthrough that can be embedded on my website and shared via YouTube and other platforms. For reference, the current (unfinished) website with temporary images can be seen here: www.beyondcanvas.co.uk
