De Almeida
Animator and Painter
“I have always felt connected to nature as an artist and human.”

Jassira De Almeida is an Angolan Canadian multidisciplinary artist. She completed her undergrad at OCAD U for the DPXA/EXAN program. She combines analog and digital techniques in her work. As a painter she creates representations of herself and what inspires her: nature, pop culture, and music. As a stop-motion animator she uses the materials she finds to make fun and thoughtful stories.
