About Iván
I like cinema in general but I am a film lover in its most artistic and experimental version. Animation cinema is my passion and my profession, having the ability to create worlds that do not exist, from scratch, is a pleasure, total creation.
In general terms I am a digital artist. I work and combine animated cinema with video games: the seventh and the tenth art. I extract cinema methods to apply to video games and vice versa, but above all, I try to innovate, introduce new concepts, invent, experiment. I believe that our duty as filmmakers is to bring new visions to the cinema.
This creative desire does not exclude the commercial and entertainment aspects that every work must contemplate. I try to entertain through emotions, emotional impact.
