About the artist

Hello there! My name is Binia, and I am a passionate self-taught scientific illustrator and artist with a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. Originally from Northern Germany, I have always been fascinated by the natural world and its incredible beauty and complexity.

With a strong desire to share my love of science with others, I have spent years honing my artistic skills and developing my unique style to create stunning illustrations that perfectly blend scientific accuracy with creative flair. My work has been featured in various scientific publications, including theses, posters, and journal covers.

With over a decade of experience studying and working in biology, I have gained an incredible wealth of knowledge that I use to inform my artistic process. I believe that the combination of scientific expertise and artistic vision is essential for creating illustrations that truly capture the essence of the natural world.

When I'm not busy creating beautiful illustrations, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, traveling, and getting lost in a good book. I am always looking for new ways to inspire and educate others about the wonders of the natural world, and I am excited to continue sharing my passion for science and art with the world.
