Andrea Lira is an animator, director and illustrator from Chile, who creates visual narratives using a wide range of media including drawing, cut paper, stop motion and digital animation. "My stories draw from real life and imagination. I am inspired by the patterns in nature, dance, the body and the subconscious. With my work I try to give life objects and emphasize the simple things in life, discovering their essence."
