Second prompt of #OurPlanetWeek is Feel the Air. I immediately imagined a bird with its wings outstretched, able to move thanks to the air flowing between its feathers. This is a Common Kestrel, made with colored pencils. #OPW25Air #FeelTheAir #EarthWeek #letsdrawthechange #SciArt

Illustration in coloured pencils of a Common Kestrel flying with its wings fully outstretched. The bird is shown mid-flight, gliding through the air. Its pointed wings and long tail are spread wide, with subtle feather details visible.

Joined #OurPlanetWeek2025 this year. The first one with the prompt “Touch the Ground”, just in time for #EarthDay !🌍 Inspired by marmots in the Alps and the hidden life beneath our feet. Grateful to reflect on our connection to nature! #OPW25Ground

Illustration of a marmot in an underground burrow. The marmot is standing peacefully in a small, rounded chamber surrounded by layers of earth. Tree roots twist through the soil above, hinting at a meadow overhead. The earthy tones and soft lighting create a quiet, cozy atmosphere, emphasizing the hidden life beneath the ground.

Painting of a #NorthernBaldIbis. Once extinct in Europe, this bird is now being reintroduced in the #Alps. As its migration routes are shifting due to climate change, it still relies on humans to find its way. I appreciate how art allows me to connect with the species 💚 #wildlife #waldrapp #birds🐦🐡

A year ago I had the opportunity to illustrate the cover of the book "Crisis Gardening: A Global Perspective", and it will be soon available for pre-order!

Here are some illustrations I created for the Biodivhubs project, showcasing measures to promote biodiversity in gardens. They're currently featured on signs in gardens across Munich and will soon be part of a catalog we're working on. Excited to share more soon! #Biodiversity #Illustration #SciArt

How can visual formats help us communicate about nature conservation? In my latest blog post, I explore three creative approaches—a comic, a board game, and interactive panels—to engage audiences in #wildbee conservation. Read it here: www.valentina-arros.com/blog/explori... #natureconservation

Hi, I’m a natural science illustrator! I create visuals to communicate information, explain ideas, share science, and inspire curiosity about nature. I also work on my own nature-inspired artwork, so for my first post, I’m sharing a recent painting. Excited to connect and share more along the way!
