Virtual Vacuum is Maria Paz’s 3D motion studio and digital playground.

For many years I have had a consistent practice as an artist (known as Exotikdot) and designer, through a hybrid wide lens; I have deepened not only within the audiovisual, but also in other fields such as immersive installation, micro-optics, sculpture, light and sound. France, Belgium, Colombia, Denmark, Sweden and Spain are countries where I have lived and worked, making adaptability and fast learning some of my biggest strengths.
Passionate about representing sensations, I aim my 3D motion designs to become a medium for emotional connections between brands and their clients. I can help my clients get more visibility, by offering eye-catching, refined and playful motion design that captivates attention, in order to stand out with style.
When I am not at the studio, I am either being a mom, practising hot yoga, playing with my synths or trying out new food in sunny Barcelona, where I am actually based, while working anywhere in the world.
Drop me a line at maria@virtualvacuum.net, I would love to help!
