Rogier Trompert: 

” Anatomy in both men and animal is, in my opinion, the most beautiful art ever made. It is a privilege to be able to study and visualize it.”

“The job of a scientific illustrator lies in distilling complex scientific information to the essentials, by combining artistic skills with accurate anatomical and medical knowledge. With good visual storytelling the illustrator makes anatomy and science comprehensible for a specific audience.”
