My Take
Valentina Rosselli is the kind of artist I most enjoy spotlighting: the invisible hand behind images that left audiences breathless. An Italian-British visual effects artist, she won a Visual Effects Society Award for bringing Ivan the gorilla to life in Disney's The One and Only Ivan, and her fingerprints are on The Lion King, Cruella and Ghost in the Shell. The general public rarely learns these names, yet the magic is entirely theirs. Breathing believable life into photoreal creatures is painstaking, almost alchemical work. Given she was born in 1992, I'm genuinely excited to see what worlds she conjures next.
