Sergey Krasovskiy
Ukrainian paleoartist Sergey Krasovskiy creates lush panoramas of dinosaurs and pterosaurs in their prehistoric environments. On the cutting edge of his field, Krasovskiy often incorporates the latest paleontological discoveries in his dynamic paintings. He portrays long-extinct creatures in painstaking detail, from the bone-crushing jaws of massive
Tyrannosaurus rex to the membranous wings of
Carniadactylus, a magpie-sized flying reptile. He includes gritty realities and placid moments, sometimes highlighting symbiotic relationships among vastly different species. His amazing illustrations are reproduced in books and magazines, among them
National Geographic magazine. In 2017 he was awarded the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s John J. Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize.
