Work Experience
Andrea Aste Studio
free lance animation and visual artist, illustrator, author
Freelance animation and visual artist, film direction, writer and author.
I am collaborating with institutions, museums, theatre and private enterprises for art and communication projects
I use my creativity to comunicate ideas, values and emotions, working with the image and the word, taking advantage of different media and their powers.
I love collaborating with creative minds, from photographers to directors, but I do create my own artistic projects too, like The Book of Shadows, Torineide, The Alchemist, The New York Collection, etc.. I invest in my own project and then I present them to museum, gallery and institutions.
in the last 3 years I've worked on The Book of Shadows, a multimedia project: a renaissance Steampunk world with a philosophical background, touring the world invited to screen the film and present the project.
