Juan Francisco Cancelleri
A course by Juan Francisco Cancelleri
Juan Cancelleri was born in Buenos Aires and his initial training is due to teachers such as De los Ríos, Eduardo Ferro, Claudio Aboy and the plastic artist Abril Barrado. He got his first professional job in animation projects in García Ferré's production company, from whom he keeps the best memories and to whom he owes his confidence. From that moment he dedicated his career to the world of animation, first creating backgrounds and later as a character creator. He took advantage of his time in Hook up Animation to gain experience in digital art and now he has decided to face the challenge of immersing himself fully in the editorial, advertising and videogames fields, which allows him to bring together his two passions: represent fantastic worlds and the characters that live in it.
