Hello, I'm David Rojas Márquez, an artist based in Argentina with roots in Colombia. My illustrations blend clarity, precision, and warmth to tell scientific stories. With a PhD in Biological Sciences, I infuse my art with scientific rigor and empathy. Passionate about nature and science communication, I believe visuals can spark curiosity and connect people with complex ideas.
I've garnered recognition, including the prestigious Illustraciència Award in 2022, and collaborated with renowned clients like Scholastic UK and universities such as Toronto and Oxford. Clients value my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to bring warmth to intricate subjects. With a background in genetics and a Master's in scientific illustration, I offer scientific insight and visual consistency, ensuring accuracy and beauty in every project.
Drawing inspiration from nature, films, and family moments, I strive to use art to bridge knowledge and emotion. When not immersed in art, you can find me exploring the outdoors, gardening, or spending time with my wife, Jimena, my daughter, Lulú, and two beloved dogs, Mona and Pili. My goal is to be remembered as an artist who brought people closer to science through engaging and impactful visuals.
