Mariano Gabriel Vidal

Hi, I’m Mariano Gabriel Vidal. I’m an animation artist with over 27 years of professional experience in animation, art direction, traditional character animation, character design, visual development, concept and inspirational art, storyboarding and illustration. I’ve led character design and art direction for several studios and production companies in Latin America and the US, and I bring a strong eye for storytelling, design systems and production pipelines to every project.

Beyond animation, I’m a licensed Architect with a degree from Universidad de Belgrano, which informs my approach to structure, space and design. Over the years I’ve collaborated on a wide range of animated TV series, commercials and features, from freelance projects to leading roles at Focus CineVideo and MundoLoco CGI. I’m currently available as a freelance animator and art director, helping teams craft compelling visuals and efficient productions.
