Ashtar is a Syrian-born Motion Designer, Animator, and Storyteller based in Barcelona, Spain—an artist whose journey is as powerful as the stories she brings to life. A graduate of Fine Arts from Damascus University and holder of a Master’s in Motion Design from Idep Barcelona, Ashtar’s creative path was forged in the heart of adversity.
In 2015, just days before her graduation, a missile strike changed her life forever. Severely injured, she defied the odds and received her diploma in a hospital room—a moment of resilience that later became the inspiration for her celebrated animated short Kano 4.
Her art is a voice for the unheard, weaving together themes of displacement, disability, feminism, and human rights with unflinching honesty and beauty. From her beginnings at Dream Catcher Studio in Damascus to global collaborations with HitRecord, Netflix, and
Zappos, Ashtar’s vision has captivated audiences across continents.
Her work has been honored at world-renowned festivals including Sundance, OFFF, BlackStar, and LIFT-OFF, among many others.
Guided by unwavering hope and bold determination, Ashtar doesn’t just tell stories—she transforms them into forces for change.
