Rapapawn is an experimental animation studio runned by Óscar Raña and Cynthia Alfonso since 2017, who get a psychedelic liturgy that is linked frame by frame thanks using surrealistic imagery, frenetic cuts, use of color and abstract and geometric forms.

As Rapapawn, they worked for artists like Holy Fuck, Dan Deacon or Cola, and for companies like WeTransfer, The New York Times, MOOG, Bandcamp or Givenchy. Their exhibition project could be seen in Mountain Analogue (Seattle), in DEMO-It's nice that (Amsterdam), Narcohumanisme (Bòlit, Girona) or in other cities such as Madrid, Paris or Vigo.
