Raquel Villa is a Spanish artist born in 1994.
Her research led practice investigates simulated systems that draw inspiration from strange physics.
She graduated from architecture in Madrid and is currently based in London.
Her background in architecture provides her with a passion to cultivate fantasy worlds by exploring parametric systems and natural laws. She is interested in the surreal aspect of her digital practice, in infusing magic realism into digital physical behaviours, by giving an importance to memory, language, and alternative ways of communication.
Over the past four years, she has been working as a senior designer at XK studio, conceptualising ideas to the digital medium through Houdini (Octane, Karma, Redshift), Nuke, After Effects, etc.
