About Me

Artist Bio

During his studies he started working in tandem with instructors Ahmed Shehata and Alvaro Sanint in their local studio. The experiences he received while working at SYNQ Studios helped develop his skills in character rigging and programming even further. In Summer 2008 Juan Borrero started teaching at Ai MIU as an adjunct instructor in Computer Animation. The following year he was hired at Ai Fort Lauderdale as an adjunct instructor for the Visual Effects and Motion Graphics department. Currently he is working in various personal projects and teaching in Miami, while providing support still to SYNQ studios.

Artist Statement
Logic and Imagination have always been something that influenced my life. These are elements that I try to incorporate everyday in my work, in my art, and in my teaching. This is not to say, that everything should be quantified and measured like a rigid mathematical structure, but that it should have both influences of the realistic and the fantastic. This has helped me to create pieces that are both practical and beautiful in their design. It is my goal to improve the imaginative limits of those I teach or interact with by demonstrating that art and logic can exist harmoniously with each other.
