Rafa Zabala, who began as a traditional sculptor and later transitioned to digital art, is the founder of Rafa Zabala Studio. For over 15 years, he has brought iconic characters and creatures to life for film, video games, musicals, museums, documentaries, and more. He has worked for legendary studios such as Weta Digital, ILM, and UBISOFT, participating in productions that have left their mark on an entire generation.

These are some of the notable titles: The Hobbit, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Avengers: Infinity War, Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Avatar “Frontiers of Pandora,” League of Legends, among many others.

His obsession with studying the human body to create characters has led him to a deep study of anatomy. He has recently launched Rafa Zabala Anatomy, where he offers various anatomy courses for artists and creates products for medical study and practice. For the past two years, he has served as a teaching assistant for the anatomy class at the Faculty of Medicine in Valencia.
