Wanda Animalart

Where it started

Wanda Animalart is Virginia's pet-portrait practice in Córdoba, with work created using pastel, watercolour and coloured pencils.

The problem

Visitors discovering the artwork through social media need a consistent place to see completed pieces, understand the commission process and make contact.

What framed the work

• Portfolio and practical commission information in one place
• Direct contact through WhatsApp, Instagram and email
• An aesthetic that accompanies the work without competing with it

What it had to achieve

Turn an artistic portfolio into a clear digital introduction to the artist, her work and the commission experience.

The solution

A responsive website combining an artwork gallery, category filtering, artist introduction, materials, a step-by-step commission process and direct contact through the channels used by the brand.

Information architecture

The site moves from the artwork to the commission: a gallery of recent portraits can be filtered by category, an artist introduction explains the practice, a materials section documents the mediums, and the commission process is presented step by step before direct contact.

Visual & interaction design

An artwork-led visual hierarchy keeps the portraits primary. Warm, personal presentation supports the hand-made character of the work, and the path from gallery to enquiry carries minimal friction.

What it does

Portrait gallery

Recent commissioned portraits gathered in one place.

Dogs, cats and other categories

The commission path, from sending photos to delivery, explained step by step.

Materials

Contact

Design & engineering decisions

Artwork-led visual hierarchy

The portraits lead the composition, with the interface staying quiet around them.

Minimal friction from gallery to enquiry

The structure guides the visitor from the work to the commission without jumps.

Considered and rejected

Staying on social channels only

Social feeds could have carried the work, but they scatter the portfolio and the process; a single site was chosen to make the commission path explicit.

Technical approach

Astro provides the static build; the site is a content-led portfolio with direct external contact routes.
