Greco Westermann

Hey there! I'm Greco Westermann, originally from the tropical heart of South America but now calling Spain my home. With a background in graphic design, I have a knack for capturing the unique shapes, geometry, and patterns of my subjects. I strive to strike a perfect balance in my art, creating characters with bold silhouettes yet maintaining a warm touch and distinctive personality. Whether it's real creatures or those conjured from the depths of fantasy and sci-fi worlds, my illustrations aim to blend biology with imagination seamlessly.

Illustrating several non-fiction children's books on animals and wildlife has been a rewarding journey for me. One of my proudest works is "My First Jungle Atlas," a collaboration with Weldon Owen that truly elevated my craft. I bring a mix of accuracy and stylization to my art, focusing on clear compositions and vibrant colors that catch the eye. Armed with a bachelor's degree in graphic design and a deep passion for biology, I often act as a subject-matter consultant, ensuring accuracy in depictions of animals and prehistoric creatures.

Nature always serves as my main inspiration, igniting my creativity and fueling my love for art. Inspired by everything from simple day at the beach to a monster movie or a documentary on the wonders of the natural world, I find joy in the simple things. While I dream of making a mark in the realms of paleoart and science communication, I also cherish my downtime, opting for a relaxing Sunday routine and looking forward to adopting a furry friend when the time is right. Join me on this artistic journey where science, art, and imagination collide!
