Xaviera López, best known for her short and visually captivating animations, first gained recognition for her work on the famous social media video platform Vine. While using both technical and physical processes to obtain the intricate movements of her animation, López loves to use her connection to nature and natural forces to bring imagined inanimate objects, beautiful feminine forms, and curious creatures to life. In doing so, López takes inspiration from her years of growing up in Chile as a child, and the beautiful landscapes and political history that surrounded her (these can be seen in her animated blinking strawberry piece, as well as in her journals where she has drawings of flowers, animals and other natural entities). López emphasizes the importance of movement, not only in her pieces but in the process of creating them. Movement inspires López in many senses of the word, starting as a “conversation” as López admits, and in the making of her ideas, they move and change themselves.
