About

I’m Mario Duran, a 3D animation and layout artist based in Barcelona, Spain, with a passion for bringing character-driven shorts to life. My focus is on 3D animated storytelling and layout work, and I enjoy refining shots through careful composition, staging, and animation polish.

I’ve worked on an award-winning animated short selected for multiple festivals, including an official selection for the Goya Awards, and I’m continuing to grow through education and production experience across 3D animation, VFX, and pipeline workflows.
