Hello evereyone, today I go to talk about one my favourites Art references:

Jan Svankmajer

He is a graphic artist of Czech nationality, born in Prague in 1934. He also is a sculptor, designer and poet .

Jan Svankmajer is a celebrated artist, known for his animation and short films and has been a reference in the works of Tim Burton, for example.

In his films, Svankmajer work with antique dolls, clay figures, machines, dissected animals ,real actors, etc. Using stop motion tecnique.

Today Švankmajer is one of the most celebrated animators in the world. Among his best known works are the feature films Alice(1988),Faust(1994),Conspirators of Pleasure(1996),Little Otik(2000) andLunacy(2005), a surreal comic horror based on two works of Edgar Allan Poeand the life of Marquis de Sade.

I like his work and his surreal stories, but what I like the most is how give life to the figures and dolls and his humor, because Svankmajer has a special humor.

My favourite film is “Alis”, is an adaptation of film Alice in wonderland, I do not get bored of seeing.
