Vanya is an animator and illustrator, specializing in character animation and vfx animation. She is currently developing her motion graphics skills and has experimented with creating comics and 3D modeling/ animation. Her work takes form as abstracted narratives, focusing on concepts and distortion of reality. She takes on a maximalist direction with the way she composes her shots and illustrations. She wants to create media that is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Her short film is in memory of her cat, Sparky. It deals with the acceptance of loss and death and what it means to remember life even after death.
