Whenever I work
with the Natural History
Museum in Milan, or for
the Biology
department of the University of Milan, I cooperate
directly with researchers.
While following their direction, I decipher natural shapes and
structures, with the aim
to transform them into an artistic drawing, while respecting the
original function
of scientific illustration.
The ultimate goal is to create an image that clearly illustrates
the scientific text that will accompany it,
as our work will be part of scientific publications that will reach
scholars in every corner of the world.
