Hola!
I’m Judith Rocabert, a picture book creator living in a little Mediterranean village, surrounded by pines, a marvellous blue sky, and a lot of disturbing spiders. Update: Living next to Barcelona. Spiders are still disturbing.
After receiving a degree in Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University in Valencia (Bancaja Final Dregree Award), I moved to Barcelona to work in the audiovisual industry. During some years I worked in animation projects as Chico & Rita, the Oscar nominated film.
I also trained in physical theatre at Estudis de Teatre in Barcelona, under the guidance of Berty Tovías, where I discovered the power of non-verbal storytelling. Meanwhile, I continued studying a Master in interactive Arts at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, where I learned with great artists as Pere Freixa, Andreu Balius, Gabriel Brncic, Antoni Muntadas, Sergi Jordà among others.
That experience, gave me a strong vision of what illustrated stories could become if combined with interactivity. In 2013 I wrote, illustrate and designed the navigation of interactive app for children “Gato sin Cola”, that won the 2013 Valencia Crea National award for interactive design.The app has also been mentioned in a book about 21st-century digital narrative as a groundbreaking invention in the field of poetic digital experiences.
My background in audiovisual narrative gives me a unique approach to picture book creation, as I have a deep understanding of the dynamics and relationships between images and storytelling.
Thanks for visiting!
