Serenates Festival 2024

Video Played along with orchestra

Video made with Runway and After Effects

As part of the Serenates Festival, I created a dynamic visual representation of Joaquín Sorolla’s painting ‘Pesca de Atún, 1903.’ ​The event took place in the Claustro del Centro Cultural La Nau, accompanied by the beautiful music of the Orquestra ​Filharmònica de la Universitat de València. Leveraging Runway AI and After Effects, I simulated the real-time process of ​painting, adding shading and illustrating it as Sorolla himself might have done. The result was an engaging and authentic ​experience that captured the essence of the original artwork Made in collaboration with Master Interactivo at La Escola d'Art ​i Superior de Disseny de València.
