BIOGRAPHY
CRAJES
is a creative team composed by Carla Rendón and Jessica Ruiz.
We
got together as a team on 2009, we began our wanderings with
experimental animation shorts, with time our bonding has increased
giving place to a more consistent line of work.
We
are self taught, we came from Psychology and Philosophy studies which
became very handy on our later work.
Our
style could be considered Lowbrow or Surrealistic Pop and our
artistic philosophy always come from a concept that might be shown or
neglected at the final shape of our work.
We
consider ourselves multidisciplinary, we came to think that because
we have done projects that include very different media and we have
covered pretty much the whole spectrum of techniques including
animation, video art, digital art, fineart, illustration, wall
painting and sculpture.
We
have been influenced by many things, movies, comic books, music …
and social aspects that concern us and try to give expression to
manifest ourselves through our work using imagination to disseminate
our thoughts.
