Guilherme Gehr

Guilherme Gehr is a painter, animator, and filmmaker from Joinville, Brazil. He grew up in many cities, always in contact with the sea, the countryside, and the forest, which made him a lover of mosses, lichens, lizards, and shooting stars. His passion for movement led him to study Cinema and Video in 2010, at the Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina, which culminated in his career as an Animator. Self-taught in techniques for most of his life, he unites his passion for drawing and painting in animated short films awarded in several countries worldwide. He recognizes, in the extinction of things, a painful sense of loss, which always gives rise to attraction to the past and fear for the future. With that, he is also an award-winning Paleoartist, having been recognized nationally and internationally for some of his scientific reconstructions of Brazilian prehistoric environments.
