What if deep-sea fish have flashlights? I would imagine them carrying the lights at the end of their thin tentacle, gently waving them in front of their large mouths. And maybe they have special glasses to see in the dark, when they don’t have their flashlights on…Ink. Year 2020
And who hovers in the air? Hummingbirds. And who in the water? The seahorses. Ummmm, and what would the metamorphosis between a hummingbird and a seahorse look like? I was inspired by the work I did years ago on hummingbird flying, and the work on seahorse swimming that was done where I did my PhD. In ink and colored pencils, using only three colors. Years 2017 – 2018

As I thought of snails, the question came to mind as to what other purposes their shell could have. What if they flew and the shell was like a balloon? This illustration turned out to be what they call in the cooking recipes a “deconstruction” of a snail in its parts 😉 Inks, colored pencils and watercolors. Year 2020
The Kingfisher, a small bird that hunts fish by diving into the water, is one of the inspirations for one of the fastest trains in the world. And one of the species of this little bird lives in the wetlands of Bogotá (Colombia) … that’s how close we are to inspiration. This is a semi-mechanical version of this bird.
Watercolors and inks.

This Christmas Pleco was inspired by a Pterygoplichthys sp. I painted it green and red because of Christmas 🎄😉 It is painted in watercolor pencils, watercolors and ink on acrylic.
