Vida. Bestiari il·lustrat (Life. Illustrated Bestiary)
Joana Santamans, illustrator
Synopsis
A book that shows the extent to which art imitates nature.
LIFE is a comprehensive book and an ideal gift. Over two hundred pages long, it is divided into sections on birds, butterflies, other insects and fish. Santamans’ hyper-realistic, clear style perfectly transmits the combination of precision and fascination we find so captivating in natural history treatises.
Accompanying Santamans’ illustrations are comments by her father, a farmer who lives a life that is perfectly integrated into nature rather than being fascinated by it. His texts are personal and scientifically valid.
LIFE is a genuine yet accessible art book that will delight anyone who loves nature or art and illustration.
