Interested in drawing and painting from an early age, Laura Ibañez began studying at the Artestudio academy, before starting a degree course in Fine Art at the University of the Basque Country (EHU/UPV) in 2010. After graduating, she decided to explore the world of engraving and silkscreen printing, completing internships in several studios in Madrid. During this time, she also developed a keen interest in animation. Self-taught in this field, in 2015 she moved to Belgium to study a Master's in Animation Film at the Ghent School of Art (KASK). Soon after graduating, she launched her career in this new world with a project called LOVE STORY, which was screened at several different festivals (Athens Animfest, Animocje, Fete de l’anim and Reanima). She currently lives in the north of Burgos, working on a new animation project and constantly on the lookout for new initiatives and collaborations. Her work has always been based on her observation of the world around her, along with her keen interest in spaces, how we inhabit them, intimacy, time and memory.
