Hi, my name is Reinaldo, I am a medical doctor turned animator. 
I have been a creative director, senior post producer and animation director for 20 years.
I am also the Chief director, founder and creator of Biota Studios, an animation company with more than 11 years in the advertising and corporate market.

My list of clients include Coca Cola, Samsung, P&G, Colgate, HBO, Avianca Airlines, Microsoft, Toyota, Disney, etc. I’ve also co-directed several Universal Music christmas classics from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby.

I have won the New York Festivals gold medal and the Latin American PROMAXBDA awards with Biota’s animated promo for the HBO show “Brazilian Holocaust”.

And now I got myself into this digital art thing.

Why this now?
2020 put me on a personal journey that tested my career as an animation service provider.

It seems that only through creation can I contribute and justify myself. That’s why I decided to confront my fears by getting inside my creator's black square.

Claustrophilia is a concept that has been on my mind for over 15 years now. Recently, in early 2021, I found the way to make it happen so you can enjoy it too.

Claustrophilia is to me a vastly uncomfortable new zone to fill. Exposing myself is an enormous insecurities box that I want to fill up.

It must be a 45 years old thing.
