Marlene Low

I am an illustrator and 2D-animator based in Zurich.

In my day to day life I love to observe and draw – and even more to bring motion and emotion into an image. I particularly enjoy focusing on texture, colour, precision and sensitivity. In my eyes, the highest compliment is when my work is able to touch someone on a personal level.

Side note:
If you ever can't find me, I'll probably be out there somewhere petting a dog...

  • I was born in London in 2000 and later moved to Zurich, Switzerland. My passion for drawing eventually introduced me to the world of animation. In 2023, I graduated from the Lucerne School of Art, Film & Design with a major in Animation Film. Besides deepening my knowledge and practice in 2D animation, the studies broadened my understanding of visual storytelling and character building.

    While I mostly create my work digitally, I always love returning to an analogue approach, playing around with sketchy textures or getting my hands and jeans splodged with paint. In my day to day life, I love to observe and keep my focus on colour, texture, preciseness and sensitivity. In addition to drawing, I also enjoy exploring other artistic media such as music, photography, and poetry.

  • My graduation film and heart-project "Summer Rain" is an award-winning, SRF-sponsored short film which has made it to various international festivals such as in Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Czech Republic and Japan.
