Helena Baptista – I’m a tax consultant for tech innovation, but my passion is scientific illustration, blending art and science to depict nature’s wonders. With a background in Biology, I create scientifically accurate illustrations using stippling, colored pencils, and sumi ink. Influenced by Ernst Haeckel and Da Vinci, I prioritize detail and research, ensuring each piece reflects true anatomy and behavior.
