Hello and welcome
I'm Janis, a graphic author specializing in animated imagery and visual arts. My expertise focuses on creating visual narratives, from the initial sketch to bringing them to life.
Beyond technique, my work is driven by a fascination for movement and the organic. I enjoy exploring the fluidity of the aquatic world, the poetry of the body and dance, or the richness of nature. These are the sources of inspiration that nourish my style to give your projects a dimension that is both sensitive and vibrant.
My areas of expertise:
- 🎬 Animation Cinema: Production of music videos, commissioned films, opening credits, and advertising videos. I am proficient in digital 2D animation as well as more traditional techniques.
- 🎨 Illustration & Concept Art: Creation of visual universes, settings, atmospheres. Creation of personalized illustrations.
- 🖋️ Cultural & Event Graphic Design: Design of visual materials for your projects (posters, banners, visual identities).
Don't hesitate to contact me and share your ideas so we can discuss them.
