ROBERT HENRI, THE ART SPIRIT
Hey! I'm Érik Trigos.

Graphic designer, 3D artist, animator, and web developer.

When I was a kid dinosaurs aroused my curiosity, but to be honest, who wouldn't? I think I'd be a paleontologist if it wasn't for Spielberg, at my first chance I'd watch over and over that jurassic video cassette, I was fascinated imagining the idea of bringing dinosaurs to real life, seeing them walking next to me (and eating my sister on the way).

I love fantasy & sci-fi films, at my 17 I discovered that animation was the perfect way to express everything I imagined, I found a refuge and a voice to create my own reality.

Currently I design, animate and in my spare time I do 3D modeling (trying to sleep from time to time). I accept being a bit (very) geek, because I have fun analyzing antiquated maps and leafing through books about the universe, listening Space Oddity by Bowie. Anyway, despite the years, I still have my dream (like Dr. Grant) of challenging a T-Rex with a flare and living to tell the tale! lots of drama and heroism; perhaps it's just a naive fantasy because such a feat can only be achieved with the magic of cinema...
Or... can't it?

rhetoric as a discipline

My strengths are in theory, criticism and analysis. I work on the construction of the discourse of each project with a methodology based on rhetoric. Discipline that is made up of closely interrelated processes:

Intellectio

Previous stage.
Where the problem is understood.

Inventio

1st stage.
Where ideas are sought and created.

Dispositio

2nd stage.
Where the ideas are arranged in the message.

Elocutio

3rd stage.
Where communication is articulated linguistically and visually.

Memoria

4th stage.
Where the actions are memorized prior to their presentation.

Actio

5th stage.
Where the message is finally transmitted to the target audience.
