I am a videomaker and animator from Lugano.
After completing my baccalaureate in biology, during which I developed a passion for observing and representing all living and moving things, I moved northwards to attend the PreCollege of Art and Design at ZHdK. One year later, I started my studies at HSLU which gave me the opportunity to broaden my knowledge in the field of art and where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Animation in 2021.
Since 2021, I am an active member of the GSIFA (Swiss Italian Animation Film Group) and I applied my animation skills to projects in various fields, from promotional videos to performances to theatre.
The theatre is a big passion of mine. For the past two years, I have been part of the This Age collective, which I co-founded with some friends to create interdisciplinary theatre projects. I have often collaborated with the Grande Giro company and contributed to numerous productions, often as an actress, but also as assistant director or technician.
Please don’t forget the music! I am active as a sassophonist in the band EasySunset and as an instructor in the multicultural music project BADABUM.
“Arianna de Angelis Effrem - a synonym for Ticino joie de vivre, dynamism and passion!
She graduated this summer with a Bachelor’s degree in Animation from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts - Design & Art.
Arianna is often on the road with bag and baggage and funny plants, mostly by train and on her bike, though she is rarely in a hurry.
Besides her passion for animation, Arianna also has a great talent in performance and theatre. She passes this passion on to the next generation through projects such as youth camps.
Her enthusiasm for flying birds of all kinds, which she can imitate very well, is also contagious. Maybe there is a little crazy dear bird in Arianna herself.”
This is the way Daniela Meier, freelancer artist and assistant of the
Animation department of HSLU, describes me.
