FRIDA is a multisensory immersive experience that translates Frida Kahlo's iconic paintings and life into monumental-scale digital animation, projected across entire architectural surfaces. The production, by Cocolab and Ocesa, toured internationally and set a new benchmark for large-format immersive entertainment in Latin America.

The motion graphics work involved developing animated sequences that extend Kahlo's visual language — organic forms, surrealist transitions, and vivid color palettes — into motion. After Effects was used for compositing and sequencing, while Houdini handled procedural elements including particle simulations that evoke flora, fauna, and transformation central to Kahlo's iconography.

Working within a strict aspect ratio system for full-dome and flat-panel projection surfaces required close collaboration with the art direction team to ensure every frame read correctly at monumental scale.
