reintroduction

Hi I'm Ligus,

I'm a traditional artist from Berlin.
#SundayFishSketch made me start painting again and I fell in love with fish and marine biology.
I'm also trying to boost other #sciart .
Sometimes there will be some dog and crow posts ;)

Oil painting before I stopped painting again.
Giant "floating" shark behind people who are just walking or cycling.
All those people are from science history (besides the silver ants lol)

Call out for scientists! 👇🚨

We are still looking for scientists who would like to work on a deep sea art project.

A view artists are still looking for a teammate to create gorgous art and to celebrate the deep sea.
