Biography
Nydia Morales is an Illustrator and Motion Graphics designer from Manhattan, New York City. While earning her degree, she has won multiple honors and awards, including the Judith Benedict Award and honored on the President's List. She strives to use her Illustration knowledge and apply it to animation and motion graphics in the future, working for Visual Effects Studios or Art Agencies that deal with work in the media industry. Her work explores the concept of line and shapes and how they define two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. She enjoys playing with this idea by breaking three-dimensional forms into flat shapes that can be illustrated traditionally or digitally. Her line of work will keep her home in New York City or potentially grant her a chance to travel to places such as California. In addition, she desires to see the world and experience all types of art, as visiting museums and galleries are one of her favorite pastimes.
Artist Statement
Exploring different mediums allows me to dive into the various dimensions of life. My work explores three-dimensional forms in both abstract and realistic ways. I enjoy playing with a variety of mediums and using two-dimensional shapes to create environments and scenes. My work reflects how I perceive the world and how changing my thinking can change how a form interacts with another in an environment. My creative vision is to use geometry to explore three-dimensional forms in a two-dimensional way and bring life to the forms through animation and motion. My work uses these geometric forms and shows how a seemingly three-dimensional object is made out of two-dimensional shapes that appear that way to the eye because of perspective. The subject of my work can vary from a simple three-dimensional shape to a human figure, which emphasizes the playfulness of my creative vision. Abstraction is a common theme in my work. I enjoy representational art that is not hyper-realistic but gives enough detail to make the viewer perceive the object or form in a specific way. Color is a feature I often play within my work, as I add textures to make the flat colors richer and have more depth. Every color and texture that I use in my work symbolizes a feeling, which makes each piece have a different meaning and serve a different purpose from the next.
