Me animated by my student Ada Alonso
Hello! I'm a 2D Animator, Supervisor and Character Designer from Spain
For the past 7 years I have worked in different projects, including three feature films, three shortfilms and an innovative multimedia anime production, and I've
been an animation and character design teacher and
supervisor for 3 years at ESDIP School of Art and its associated Animation Studio.
I also produced my own shortfilm and
co-created a weekly soap opera parody. And last year I
was awarded with an Illustration Accésit at GranArte.
As an actor I have played at international festivals like FESTEU (Madrid) or FATAL (Lisboa) and a couple of shortfilms, receiving awards for best supporting actor and best costume design. Later on I developed an acclaimed acting masterclass for animators at ESDIP Animation Studio.
I believe that there's power in the stories we tell, and so I'm committed to contribute to projects with important messages that can little by little change the world.
