Daniela Upegui
About
Animator/Artist
My name is Daniela, born in London and raised in Colombia, growing up in two different parts of the world enabled me to see the beauties of the world and how art is displayed differently in Colombia and London. My dad's side of the family influenced me to listen to metallica whist my mum's side was more outgoing and wanted me to flourish academically. Art is something that I always wanted to explore, so when I had the chance to I made the decision to study animation and games student in London. My art is sometimes heavily influenced by anime, however I still enjoy drawing Disney related characters. Whilst my art sometimes may seem childish, there are times when I wanted to explore the emotions of a person and see how I could put that on paper.
