About David Cortes

My name is David D. Cortés Sáez and I am an animation and art education student at "Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico" (School of Fine Arts and Design of Puerto Rico). Throughout my life I have studied different types of art that now I can combine to create new, creative and innovative works in the fields of photography, animation and cinema. Everything started when I became a pupil of puertorican artists Ángel Rodríguez and Carlos Montes at the age of five. Since then I studied traditional mediums of art like drawing, printmaking and, specially, painting. These mediums, while not directly related to photography or cinema, they still work as a base and, at the same time, they give me an artistic vocabulary that artists without this background don't have. Now with my recent entry to college and the formal education I'm receiving in digital arts I am transcribing everything I know of traditional art to the magical world of photography, cinema and animation.
