The project originated from a series of dinosaur drawings made by children between the ages of 8 and 11. Fascinated by the lines and spontaneity of the figures, I created a small encyclopedia. The project is inspired by the classic encyclopedias that were popular a few decades ago, but pairs them with dinosaur illustrations drawn by children.
Particular emphasis is placed on the way dinosaurs are represented, highlighting how their appearance is constantly changing due to ongoing scientific discoveries. This device also serves as an alternative way to present this kind of artwork, which carries a strong emotional component but is rarely published, in a project not aimed at children, but at teenagers and adults.
