Hello! My name is Sofía and I am a freelance illustrator and animator, currently based in London, UK. My work largely focuses on the creation of surreal worlds and characters, in the past few years I have focused more on animating my work to bring it to life. I am interested in immersing my audience into the worlds I create by adding hypnotic movement and sound. I am currently available to work on any freelance illustration/animation projects !
Projects
- Roaming (360)'Roaming' is a 360 animation of a surreal imaginary landscape, populated by strange roaming creatures. The animation can be experienced in VR or as a 360 video, and was the final outcome of a project exploring how technology is reshaping the ways we experience works of art. The project aim was to provide a more immersive experience of my character and world design, and to give my audience more of an active role. Animation by Sofia Johnston Soundtrack by Elliot Webster - 'Living in'
