2013 – 2018

I studied the subject “Virtual Design” at the University of Kaiserslautern. The degree program is very versatile. It covers classical analogue drawing as well as graphic design and corporate design. Among other things, the study includes the modeling of 3D objects up to their visualization and animation.

Furthermore, the degree program deals with Virtual Reality and, last but not least, photography also finds its place. After 5 years I finished my bachelor thesis with the title: “Use of physics simulation in computer generated animated film”.

COVER LETTER

Jil Funk

Oh… Hello, so you want to know more about me?

Well, let me tell you something.

In 1994 I was born in Luxembourg as the first born of a teacher and a technician. Early on I developed a passion for doodling and animals. In my youth, after many sports, I finally ended up playing volleyball, following the tradition of my parents.


The process of drawing is for me another world without borders. I can let the thoughts fly in the creative process. As Albert Einstein so aptly said: „Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.“
And so it happened that already in my youth, art was part of my everyday life. It was clear to me early on that Luxembourg would not be enough as a place to live out my art. So it came that I decided to study in Germany. While I was diving deeper and deeper into the digital world, I developed an interest in games and movies. Soon gaming became one of my free time activities and at the same time I became more and more interested in understanding how these games work and how they are implemented from an artistic point of view.

The Corona Pandemic clearly showed how important the digital world has become for work, for further education and training, and for leisure.
