ESTHER ARNAU
My name is Esther Arnau Cervós, I have a degree in cinema from the ESCAC (Escuela superior de Cine y Audiovisuales de Cataluña) and specialize in art direction. I am 21 years old and I am currently studying a master’s degree in artistic direction at the TAI (University School of Arts of Madrid). My vocation for audiovisuals began at a young age, which has led me to explore various areas of film production, including directing, editing and scriptwriting. However, it was in artistic direction that I found my true passion. This discipline allows me to express myself creatively, build unique visual universes, collaborate closely with other film professionals and explore a wide variety of cinematic styles and aesthetics.
At the same time, I have developed a deep interest in costume design, motivated by a personal connection with fashion and styling since childhood. This interest is constantly reflected in my projects, where I seek to carefully integrate the wardrobe as an essential part of the visual discourse. Throughout my training and practical experience, I have participated in more than 40 audiovisual projects, performing functions in direction, production, photography and, mainly, artistic direction.
During my last year of career, I have specialized fully in this area, in which I have had the opportunity to assume all the associated roles, as well as to design and build more than 15 stage sets.
