Qais Sarhan - Visual Storyteller

I’m Qais Sarhan, an independent animation director and illustrator with 14+ years of experience creating emotionally driven, visually distinct motion work.

My style is bold and dreamlike - rich in texture, colour and feeling. I create work that’s nostalgic but stylised, soothing but punchy. Like a half-remembered storybook filtered through a surreal, modern lens.

Whether I’m directing a music video, animating a visual story, or illustrating a world from scratch, my goal is always the same: to make people feel, not just watch.

I’ve worked on music videos, TV titles, campaigns and explainer content for global brands and smaller studios alike.

Right now, I’m focused on bringing more art-led, emotionally resonant motion work to life.
