Showcase & Discover Creative Work

I am Gejanne, born on the 21th of August in 1984, living in Groningen in the Netherlands. There I studied Time Based Media, related to Multi Media Design, at the Academy of Arts Minerva. This study was about animation and film, which we used to create short movies, music video clips, leaders and titles, commercials and free work. It also includes illustration, web design and developing creative concepts for many purposes.

I love every aspect of it, yet I try to specialize in the art of animation.
I like to lean on my skills and knowledge of the art of drawing, painting, photography, dance, writing, theater and music to create my animations and movies. I'm a dreamer who gets inspiration anywhere. I am fascinated by the beauty of simplicity, old materials, handmade looks and storytelling;
culture, myths, religions, and fairy tales;
life, animals, people and nature;
imagination without limits, riddles, wonders and surrealistic scenes.
While teachers keep telling me to keep my projects small and compact, I live by the philosophy 'The Sky Is The Limit'.

To me the most challenging parts of my profession are:
1) making choices;
There are so many options and solutions!
2) framing my creative process;
An artist has got ongoing creative processes, get's inspiration everywhere, ideas come and go whenever they do.
3) time management;
The fact that my drive and eager to learn make me spend a lot of time inside, behind my computer or desk, while at the same time I love to be outside.
Now to solve that problem, I could become a gardener, but my head would probably explode of all the dreams and ideas that I can't turn into creations (or my garden will look kinda strange!) and I'll miss the joy of working on my creative projects.
So I try to keep my balance, make sure I spend some time in nature and with my beloved ones and my very best friend Brum Brum Elvis. In the meanwhile just embrace the fact that I'm an artist. Read Less
