Digital rear projections as backdrops – animated or static – for theater plays and events. Still open to that kind of commissions.
Retroproyecciones digitales a modo de telones -animados o estáticos- para obras de teatro y eventos: sigo estando abierta a ese tipo de encargos.

In a Persian Market
The UV Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates its anniversary, choosing pieces inspired by different places on the planet that Ketelbey composed in the mid-19th century, and I am commissioned to illustrate with video the piece that gives title to this post. The commission: to reveal the reality of present-day Iran beneath the orientalist fantasies of the West about Persia that gave rise to the score… I decide to concentrate on a motion graphics work, mixing classical works by orientalist painters of the 19th century with reproductions of authentic Persian art (the wonderful miniatures, the frescoes of the Chehel Sotún palace in Isfahan) that, through simple animations, reveal current photographs of a much less happy and colorful reality.

Pilar Jurado’s Transópera
The renowned soprano used my animations to illustrate her show in which, true to her style, she fuses everything from baroque music to bossa nova and jazz with electronic rhythms in an attempt to update lyrical music to make it attractive to the general public.
