Valentina is a biologist working at the National University of Colombia with more than seven years of experience in scientific illustration. Her work seeks to capture life by highlighting its aesthetic beauty without neglecting morphological details and other attributes of scientific interest.
She is currently working on illustration as a means to take science beyond the academic public. Using watercolor as a bridge between art and science, she seeks to bring knowledge to the community at large and thus make it an active part of biodiversity conservation initiatives.
