Joseba Elorza, also known as MiraRuido, was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, a small town in northern Spain. He initially studied sound engineering, but his artistic interests led him to collage, a technique he has been practicing for over 15 years. Shortly after posting his first works online, he received his first commissions from magazines; since then, his illustrations have appeared in publications such as Esquire, the Wall Street Journal, and The Hollywood Reporter, among others. Eager to continue developing his technique, he began animating his collages in 2013, thereby adding a temporal dimension to his work. The artist uses collage as a technique to decontextualize common knowledge, reconfigure our senses, and blend the known past with the unknown future. His works capture snapshots of another world, where anything seems possible, and convey an ironic sense of humor toward modern society by choosing to depict ordinary, familiar things in a new and disorienting way.
With the release of his first animations, he began receiving new commissions in this genre: with music videos being one of his main areas of interest, he has created numerous award-winning works, including collaborations with renowned artists and brands such as Green Day, the National Geographic Channel, and Amazon Studios. Over the course of nearly two decades of creative work, MiraRuido has combined projects for clients with personal projects that have served as a driving force behind his artistic development. His talent has been recognized internationally, with prestigious awards such as the Silk Road Award (Grand Prix at the Cannes International Independent Film Festival), the Gold Medal at the New York Festivals, and several Best Music Video awards (Chicago Film Awards, Venice Shorts Film Awards, Musicbed Film Festival, etc.). Her work has also been showcased at major events around the world, such as Nft.NYC (United States), Digital Paradise (China), and the Awwwards Conference (Netherlands).

It's not easy to do and it happens very rarely, but sometimes your mind visits paradisiacal inner landscapes. The sound of the sea no longer allows you to hear the sounds of the street and your special monsters are now seagulls flying against the coastal breeze. Not even your conscience can find you in this corner of turquoise water and white sand. You know you'll have to get out soon and face your daily problems, but for a moment, nothing beyond the palm trees worries you. The sun is shining, the water is refreshing, and you're there, lying on your board, waiting for the waves with the inner peace of those who know they don't need it to sail.
