Hi! I'm Ari. I'm a 25-year old 3D animator and artist. I love to animate on Maya and Blender! I'm very curious and eager to keep learning. During my free time I participate on indie animated projects.

Biography

I studied a bachelor's degree on Audiovisual Communication (2017-2021, University of Vigo). Before finishing my degree, I started working at the University of Vigo in Divulgare Studio (February 2021-April 2022) as a post-production and 3D artist. After this work experience I decided to continue my career as a 3D animator, so I studied the 3D Animation Master's Degree (2023) and the Advanced Animation Projects Master's Degree (2023-2024) at Trazos School of Digital Arts. After that I continued learning about 3D with the Course in 3D Modeling with Blender (2024) at EOI Business School. At the same time, I participated in the Women in Animation Mentorship Program in the circle "Breaking In as a 3D Animator" with Meghan Grube (October 2024 - January 2025). All my learning experience brought me to do an internship as a 3D Animator at Duplo Motion Graphics (November 2024-February 2025), where I continued learning about animation and Blender.

Right now I'm looking for a new job while I'm also participating on indie animation projects. I worked on a teaser for a local short film festival for independent creators called Agarima FestI volunteered as a 3D animator on Thet Chal's CalArts thesis film The White Elephant, I'm participating on the indie show Dream Catchers as a character animator and I'm also volunteering on other indie projects under NDA.

Apart from 3D animation, I create web comics and illustrations on my own. I love going to figure and gesture drawing workshops at La Mina de Sal, a local art school in my city. I also participated on live-action projects as a producer, director, storyboard artist and continuity supervisor.
