Just the fact that this is not the first time makes me sick.

Please avoid at all cost..

As you like, looking forward to that!

You can also register already (if you like to participate in January) and send artwork later.

Anyways, there are more exhibition round throughout the year

I would categorise it as „Paleoart“ of some sort, so it would fit perfectly. There is no reason why it should not be in the gallery at some point?

Thank you so much!

We have 15 spaces to fill - are you in?
You can register on my website (extinctfineart.com/virtual-pale...), but feel free to send me a DM if you have any questions!

For this exhibition, I am looking for artists who provide a specific artwork or small series of artwork they are proud of or has taught them a lot. We want to celebrate the process of creating artwork of any craft!

First call for palaeoartists for 2026!

The first exhibition in 2026 will start on 16 January with the panel discussion with Gaelle Seguillon and Simone Zoccante.

Continued..

I hope to see many of you in the online sessions and your artwork in the gallery! Stay tuned for more information like invited speakers, call for artists, etc!

June: Show me your unfinished work and scribbles! We all have our finished artwork ready to be showcased - and the process behind it documented but locked somewhere nobody should find it. Let’s dive into the different approaches of creating a new piece!

cont.

May: With ‚Delicate boundaries: The Art of Revealing Triassic Bones from Thuringia‘ @fossilamazing and @preparaptor show us the fascinating craft of preparing fossils for the general public with a lot of material from the process behind it.

Cont

April: Publications & books shape our understanding of the state in palaeo. We use different sources during our artistic process. (influential examples: ‚Locked in Time‘ (@deanrlomax.bsky.social, @bobnichollsart.bsky.social) & ‚Rise and fall of the dinosaurs‘ (@stevebrusatte.bsky.social)

Cont

March: The Big 8 - a huge exhibition prepared by scientists and preparatory in Europe. @palaeonils will guide us through the process of bringing the biggest creatures back to life with a bunch of behind-the-scenes material!

Cont

February: Unfortunately still underrepresented and underestimated - women in science. Be ready for an intense but important discussion with artwork from female*, trans, and queer artists.

Cont

Be prepared for:
January: „The art in palaeoart“ - a discussion with @gaelleseguillon and @zoctheartist about the artistic aspects of the craft. Artwork and participation from the community is a main component here!

cont.

The first preliminary schedule of the virtual Palaeo-gallery 2026 is here! ✨

I am so excited to present you the preliminary schedule for the first half of 2026!
All networking sessions (and new rotations of the permanent exhibition) happen in Feb, April, and June.

Yesterday we had a special #MonkeyCruise stream in honor of Jane Goodall! Her contributions to primatology and our understanding of animal intelligence changed the worldview of whole generations and her caring and critical voice will be missed.

#Mosasaur

This piece is finally finished! I’ll post the complete painting soon :)

Results from the #paleostream!
Dodo, Oneirosaurus, Thikarisuchus and Bakiribu

Here the result of the Seaham Formation #paleostream, maybe the most relaxing formation stream we will ever have! This Carboniferous tundra wasn't chosen because of it's fossils, but because of its setting.

#Mosasaurus got all main bits

More detailing ahead!

Wow, it’s been 3 months again…

This is an amazing piece of artwork and seeing the process behind it is just a treat!

Me and my latest piece! #artvsartist
So so proud of this drawing! And very excited for the future! It was seen by many big pros in the sphere, lovely to see all of the reactions <3
The graphite is glowing a little in light of course.

Was a great time presenting at Karim's event! Excited for your future meetings Karim! Truly great work you're doing!

Thank you so so much! Your passion is contagious! 😃

I recently teamed up with Dino and Dog (www.myminifactory.com/users/Dino%2...) to make a 3D printable model of the rhynchosaur Fodonyx that I named way back in 2008. Nikola has done an amazing job and made some awesome renditions of it, including some showing speculative burrowing behaviours!
