BIO
I am a Mexican animator/illustrator/choreographer constantly mesmerized by movement and all of its possibilities.
I completed my B.A. at Bennington College (USA), where I studied the concept “Emotion through motion” through the disciplines of Animation and Dance. I graduated from a Masters Degree in Animation from LUCA School of Art (Brussels) with my film "Tonalli" and my dissertation "The Importance of Representation in Animation- with a focus on Latin American women." Later I completed a second Masters Degree as part of the RE:Anima EMJMD program (Genk, Helsinki and Lisbon). My films have been selected in an array of international festivals such as Annecy, FICM, La Semaine de la Critique, GIFF, Animafest Zagreb, Tricky Women, etc. In 2025 my short film "Ser Semilla" was nominated for the Ariel Award (AMACC) for Best Animated Short film.
In 2023 I co-created Taller Menea an animation studio in Mexico City, currently I works there and as a freelancer. While dance continues to inspire a be part of my artistic personal practice.
Recently I am interested in the clouds, folk tales / myths / legends specially from Latin America (but also from all around the globe), trees and mushrooms and flowers, witches and curanderas, the adaptation of ancestral tales and legends, and exploring the concept of representation through identity and belonging.
