Painter, Illustrator, Animator, Motion Designer, and Storyboard Artist

Gonzalo Cordero studied fine art and has always maintained a close relationship with art, drawing, and painting. Later, he worked in television—Televisión Española, the Olympics, Canal+, Canal Satélite Digital, Cuatro, etc.—where he became passionate about motion graphics and animation. From there, he began to experiment with his animations to give them a very pictorial-inspired plastic and manual feel, a very laborious but fascinating process. He is currently working as a freelancer, focused on animation and rotoscoping projects.

Throughout his career, he has received a Golden Laus, a Silver Laus, five awards in New York, and a Bronze Sun. His animations have been screened at festivals such as Sitges and Annecy, as well as at a number of museums. In addition, he is a curator for animation exhibitions and a teacher of children's workshops.
