MARIANA LEAL
Hi, my name is Mariana, I am a story-driven Portuguese animator based in London.
I am interested in exploring personal stories through character and materiality, giving each piece it's own form.
This has led my work to take different shapes and formats utilising a range of techniques from stop-motion to 2D digital collage and hand-drawn animation.
My work has ranged from animated films to installations not only for Art and Animation Festivals, but also theatre plays. I work with Tv-Paint as well as Toon Boom Harmony, Photoshop and After Effects.
