ABOUT ME
I am Mohadeseh Keshavarz, a dedicated storyboard artist with a deep passion for storytelling. Since graduating from university, I have pursued my love for visual narratives, exploring the intersection of storytelling, art, and cinematic expression. My work focuses on human emotions, the unspoken stories woven into everyday life, and our intrinsic connection to nature.Through animation, I strive to create pieces that draw viewers into worlds that are both grounded in reality and touched by the surreal. My creative process is deeply influenced by nature, fleeting moments, and the cultural traditions that shape our lives.Over the years, I have contributed to a variety of animated projects as a storyboard artist, animator, and character designer. I am passionate about crafting stories that emotionally resonate with people, inviting them to appreciate the subtle beauty often overlooked in life.Currently, I am working on an animated short titled To Flow, which explores the complex interaction between identity and liberation. My hope is that my work sparks meaningful conversations and prompts reflection on the connections we share as human beings.
