My name is Nerea Toledo Álvaro (a.k.a. Nerea Neta) and I am a 2D Animator and Visual Development Artist from Madrid, Spain.

I have experience working on audiovisual productions such as short films, animated series, and feature films, as well as video game projects. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Manuel Sirgo González—two-time Goya Award winner—at his studio 12 Pingüinos, known for Disney-related projects such as Phineas & Ferb, Hamster & Gretel, and Milo Murphy’s Law, as well as acclaimed feature films like Wrinkles and Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds. I’ve also been fortunate to receive mentorship from top industry professionals such as Matías Marcos (Disney), Anthony Christov (Pixar), Mauro Belfiore (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), and Cecilia Petrucci (Klaus, Space Jam 2), all of whom have deeply influenced my artistic approach.

I have a deep passion for animated films and video games especially. I have been drawing and immersed in the world of art for as long as I can remember. My inspiration often comes from nature, and my favorite references come from different fields of art, like cinema, animation, painting, photography and fashion.

In my professional life, I am known for my perseverance, responsibility, perfectionism, and creative thinking.
