Paolo Mongillo

I am not an artist, I am a scientist. An ethologist, to be precise. However science and art have more in common than what one may think. They both require acute and detailed observation, creative thinking, and the ability to see beyond the surface. However, my job also requires strict rules and interminable hours at a computer monitor. So drawing and painting represent my way to canalize my creative energies without too many restrictions and stepping away from computers. Needless to say that my favorite subjects are animals...
