“I think being a graphic is a career which chooses you and not vice versa. Amount of time and work to be spent in building ones artistic skills can only spring up from a true and honest passion”.

Okoń creates pictures rich with narration on which many things happen. They contain strong references to realism with a stress put on dramatic lightning and many particulate effects. In the initial phase of designing of illustration Okoń draws a sketch and based on it he creates a simple scene in 3D. Thanks to it, he can experiment with light and camera setup. All the procedures allow generating an advanced version of a project to be finalized in Photoshop that the whole thing looked more coherent and vivid. His main artistic discipline is concept graphic used in film productions. He particularly likes the area since he participates in early stages on script visualization and thus he can influence upon the whole project. He also appreciates freedom of creation.

His professionalism in concept graphics and illustration brought him international acclaim. He worked with great American film studios including Warner Bros, Marvel, Thunder Road Pictures and 20th Century Fox, and also with video games companies like: Activision, Naughty Dog and Ubisoft.
