Oscar Raña and Cynthia Alfonso are an animation duo hailing from Galicia.


Their animations are largely improvised, drawn frame by frame with each image becoming increasingly complex.


They seek to create a sense of immersion in the viewer, inviting them to become engulfed within these morphing, abstract landscapes and geometric structures.


At the same time, the textures seenin each animation come from risograph printing each frame, the scanning them and reassembling them digitally.


“Improvisation is a fundamental in our process. We usually start with very simple trial and error exercises that gradually become more complex: trying, cutting, pasting, ordering, moving back, removing, adding... are all actions that have a certain manual and primary condition, and which we use in our creative process.


Thus, our work sometimes resembles that of someone who manipulates film footage for editing purposes and returns again and again to the images.


For us, geometric abstraction takes ona richer and more interesting dimension when it is generated in this way and not through automated movement processes that produce more artificial and predictable finishes.”
