Gabriel Salas
Creative Director & Head of 3D
Santiago, Chile

Summary

I'm a 3D artist and director with over a decade of experience in animation, storytelling, and creative leadership.

I mix technical know-how with a love for design—
leading projects and delivering work that’s crafted with care and aligned with a broader creative vision.

🔹 Currently: 3D Creative Director at Silver Spoon, working across real-time and pre-rendered experiences.
🔹 Previously: Founder and Director of Baros, a boutique studio known for stylized, character-driven work for clients like Nickelodeon, Fox, and Roblox.

I'm also the creator of Representation Rigs, a project that promotes diversity in animation by offering students and professionals access to a broader range of character rigs.

What drives me is creating rich, detailed work that feels tactile and alive.
