In a city where memory bleeds into matter. A girl leaps from the top of a building
but instead of falling, her hair begins to grow, endlessly, cascading beneath her like a living ladder. Suspended in midair, she enters a trance, her body rotating slowly as her infinite locks stretch across the cityscape. Below, a man begins to climb—drawn by instinct, memory, or love—ascending through the spiraling strands toward her.

Sueños y Pinturas is a dream rendered in motion, blending oil painting, 3D animation, and AI to translate inner feeling into cinematic animation. It is a meditation on connection, transformation, and the weightless power of surrender.

Brushstrokes become movement—each line a pulse, each texture a breath, as pigment dissolves into motion and stillness awakens into story.
