The Last Sun
In the near future, artificial mountains in the vicinity of Mexico City are home to millions, sustained by the energy of ancient volcanoes. In these tunnels, a drone performs maintenance tasks. As time progresses, the tunnels become the last refuge after a catastrophe, and the drone becomes a witness to the end of the sixth sun.

Braulio was born in Mexico City and was driven by the world of electronic arts from a young age, with music and drawing software being part of his core formation. In college, he developed his personal style, inspired by a myriad of directors and visual styles. He was heavily inspired by Soviet graphical postmodernism, Russian animation from the middle part of the past century, as well as Japanese animation from the 80s and 90s.
He often adapts international aesthetics with Mexican visual identities and themes, such as color palettes representative of Central Mexico art, as well as pre-hispanic cosmic imaginaries
