About - Júlia Latorre Barcala

Born and raised in Lleida. Since very young age I was deeply interested in all kinds of artistic representations: from cartoons on tv to theatrical games played on recess. I grew up surrounded by my mother's graphic design related advise and a constant curiosity that helped me develop a sense of taste and passion for trying to make better everything that gets into my hands.

In 2016 I graduated in Audiovisual Communication degree at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where my bonds with the cinema industry started. Afterwards, in 2018, a postdegree in Motion Design by BAU, Escola de Disseny, would be my introduction to motion graphics. Animation is one of my key passions so, later on, in 2022 I went back to school and attended the Acting in Animation 2D by Escola Joso, specialized in comic and illustration.

In summer 2023, my experimental animated shortfilm Cosmotrip, got selected in the showcase of two European festivals: Fest Ança in Slovakia and Mar Mostra in Portugal. Also in August 2024 I was selected as artist in residence by the Arts Itoya program in Takeo Onsen, a small village in Kyushu, Japan.

My working career goes through many areas, and I still feel the need to keep it expanding. I have always personal projects on development that hopefully will see the light one day.
