Samuel Orrego is an emerging animator and creative professional interested in experimenting with new and old techniques to challenge conventional ways of thinking. Though he’s only been exploring animation for the past four years, it has quickly become a passion that drives his creative work. He draws inspiration from everyday shapes and forms, ranging from interesting infrastructure design, to eerie internet posts that somehow made it past the moderation team. He often feels compelled to capture his creativity in his works, whether it be absurd renders or doodles on the back of shopping receipts.
Specialising in digital media, he works primarily with software such as Blender, Maya, Photoshop and Illustrator to produce his body of creative works. He has always preferred working in 3D spaces both digitally and in analogue mediums. In his creative process, he constantly captures imaginative ideas and incorporates them into his work to encourage curiosity and interest. An important philosophy he takes into his work is the autonomy of thought and the importance of formulating one's own decisions and opinions based on personal experiences/perspectives rather than following the status quo.
