HOLA! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Nice to meet you, my name is Lara, a visual development artist, art director, award-winning author and storyteller from Spain, based in London, UK.

I specialise in bringing concepts and ideas to life, with a special focus on environments, colour keys, and style exploration/ development. I’ve worked across different industries and disciplines - from animation to videogames, to publishing, to content creation and teaching - which has grounded and honed my storytelling skills as a common denominator, giving me a broader view and understanding of style versatility, project limitations & opportunities and target audiences.

As an artist, I drive my storytelling from the small joys I perceive around me, nature (water bodies and forests especially), history, beautiful shapes, life experiences and emotions, and atmospheric colours. I have a special attachment to anything that feels nostalgic, analogue and relatable. Off-set, collage, textures and anything that feels physical and potentially imperfect are details I always aim to implement in my work, bringing in a unique graphic style.

Are you seeking a creative, experienced, passionate and story-driven artist for your project?

You’re looking at the right person, then! - with the potential add-on of seeing a cute black cat on camera every now and then.

In short, I’m a Visual Development Artist, an award-winning Author and illustrator, and an Art Director. I have written and illustrated my own Graphic Novel, worked as an illustrator with other authors to bring their books to life, and also worked as a concept artist for video games, both console and mobile. In animation projects, I’ve worked across different project stages, where I did visual development - encompassing environments, characters and design as a whole - Layout and Background Painting, Colour Keys and Character Design for a variety of projects, including pitch projects, TV Series, Commercials, Music Videos and even theatre productions!

If you have a look at the Animation/Games tab, you will be able to see a selection of some of the projects I’ve worked on. To access the NDA and password-protected areas, please pop me an email if you’d like to have a snoop!
