Maria Paz Gomez Garcia-Ortiz

During the last two years, while studying at DJCAD, I am attending collaborative projects while practicing a great range of art specialisms. Nowadays, I am focused in concept and 2D background art. At the same time, I am passionated about designing and painting environments that immerse the viewer into the narrative. My purpose is to convey certain visuals containing unique worlds, places where written stories can be unfold into creative visual stories.

During the last and final year, I have been the director of my own film “Nucleus” which allowed me to be involved in multiple roles: storyboarding, character design, animation and compositing. By also consolidating contributions from my team, I ensure that it is finished as originally envisaged. This immersive horror film of grotesque visuals conveys unique beauty to the alien-like horror it portrays.

In my additional project: “Neo Eden” I developed a variety of concepts inspired by Moebius, whose imaginative science-fiction stories are of great inspiration to the concepts and ideas I adore to explore. Under this project, I experimented in a vastly different styles in respect of my Nucleus film, thus establishing a challenge which is an useful endeavour when implementing my art styles.
