Anatomy, made clear enough to remember.

I’m Marisol, a freelance medical illustrator and scientific animator. I turn dense clinical and research material into accurate diagrams, patient-education visuals and 60–90 second explainer animations.

About

Trained in biomedicine, drawn by hand

I studied biomedical sciences before moving into illustration, so I read the papers as well as draw from them. Every figure is checked against your references and, where possible, by a clinician or researcher on your side.

I work with hospitals, journals, universities and health-tech teams across Spain and Europe.

Fig. 03 — Who it’s for

Made for people who explain the science

  1. Pharma startups

    Pharma startups need to communicate a mechanism to investors and clinicians.

  2. Journals

    Journals need figures that clarify a paper.

  3. University labs

    University labs need visuals for grants, talks and teaching.

Marisol works with all three.
