Liane Xuelian Li

Freelance Senior Digital Matte Painter

Liane Xuelian Li is a senior matte painter with over a decade of experience in the visual effects industry. She began her career in 2013 as a prep artist before transitioning to matte painting two years later, following her passion for world-building through digital painting. Since then, she has worked at leading studios on high-profile projects, with notable contributions to How to Train Your Dragon, Dune: Part Two, Silo, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

  • Liane is a truly gifted matte painter! The level of detail and artistry she brought to her work on Extrapolations was breathtaking. She's incredibly talented, super-efficient, crazy fast, and has an amazing eye for composition. If you get the chance to learn from her, take it!

  • I worked with Liane on the hardest projects of my career, and she was a key artist, and it was a support to know that she was in the team. Liane tackled some of the most complicated shots and always delivered perfection and beyond.
