I made this illustration of Cabuniaegino, a pre-roman deity of the Cantabri. His name is only mentioned in one inscription on an ara (a type of votive altar) found near the oppidum at Mount Cildá and has been interpreted as a god of healing and medicine.

This year's illustration for the "Altamira para escolares" educational activities program at @museodealtamira.bsky.social focuses on children again but also on nature and our relationship as humans with our environment.

Aren't petroglyphs fascinating? I drew this panel filled with dots and crosses from Valderredible in preparation for my archaeological drawing workshop at Tribus del Íber a couple of weekends ago. 🖌 Do you like more just the ink drawing or the one with the watercolor background?

What was spring like in the north of Iberia during the late Magdalenian period? I imagine it may have looked something like this.

The baby blackbirds in my flowerpot have grown so much! They are about to jump out of the nest any moment now so I made a cute drawing and wrote a bit a bout them (in Spanish) on my Ko-fi. You can read it here -> ko-fi.com/post/Hay-mir...

Two little blackbirds have been born minutes ago in a flowerpot on my balcony 🥰 They are so so tiny!! And look very hungry. Don't worry, their parents are taking good care of them and us humans at home are not interfering 🤗

We all know about the hundreds of horses and bisons painted in caves all around Europe but there is a number of species that are much less common in Paleolithic art 🐧🐆 This illustration is featured on @thehistocrat.bsky.social 's excellent video on this topic. Go check it out! youtu.be/RX_76nmaJas

Jurjânîya - The cold of hell We saw a land which made us think a gate to the cold of hell had opened before us. When snow falls, it is always accompanied by a rough and violent wind.

A COZY DWELLING - SO MANY COLORS #prehistovember2025 I joined two prompts together to imagine the appearance of an Iron Age hut. A hearth, herbs, warm blankets, things for weaving and a sleepy scruffy dog by your side are the epitome of coziness and what everybody needs to be happy in my opinion.

MADE OF STONE #prehistovember2025 One of my favourite places to hike to is marked by many peculiar stones, both natural (although local legends state they were dropped by the devil himself when he went to build the Roman aqueduct in Soria -go figure) and man-carved.
Watercolor painting of a horse in front of five standing stones in a foggy scenery. Two of the stones show carvings belonging to the Bronze Age.

NEW ACQUAINTANCES #prehistovember2025 Almost 40,000 years ago the first "modern humans" arrived in Europe and found it was already populated. Artifacts suggest there might have been an exchange of either material goods. Current genetics confirm sapiens and H. neanderthals exchanged more than tools 😏
Watercolor painting of a young Homo sapiens man embracing a neanderthal woman in a green woodland environment. Both are smiling.

A FULL MEAL #prehistovember2025 This illustration is based on the #paleodiet of my ancient fellow countrywoman, the Red Lady of El Mirón, which consisted of meat, different kinds of mushrooms and salmon. She would have also completed her meals with vegetables and fruits available at the time.

Last week I taught at my first #archaeologydrawing workshop during the Tribus del Íber Fest in the north of Spain. ¡It was great! So thankful for everyone who joined me and spent a beautiful evening drawing, chatting about artifacts and discussing the role of #artists in #archaeology.
Scientific illustration of archaeological artifacts from the Bronze Age: ceramic vases and plates, beads of different sizes, arm guards and a gold ornament.

A paleo-commission from last year for the #experimentalarchaeology program for schoolers at @museodealtamira.bsky.social I designed the #illustration and the layout of the brochure in order to focus the attention on the pigments and tools used to paint the bisons within the #Altamira cave.
In the foreground, we see a variety of tools used for painting rock art, such as mineral pigments, sea shells, feathers, charcoal, a paintbrush and a grease lamp. In the background, a young woman and a young man prepare red ochre for painting. Further back, within a cave, another woman blows the red paint on her hand to leave a print on the rock.
