Although Jose Arcas has a Ph.D in Biology, and worked on several  bird conservation projects in Spain, his real passion is painting them. “Bird painting gave me what science and bibliography could not, another way of gaining a deeper knowledge of birds. Although I like all painting media, watercolour is my favorite because it gives me the ability to  capture the light of a concrete moment in nature.” Jose lives in Vigo, Galicia, a region in northwestern Spain and grew up surrounded by marine environments (Vigo is one of the most important fishing ports in Europe) “and that’s why my favorite subjects are marine birds, specially gulls and waders.” Occasionally, he also does bronze sculptures too, especially of some mammals like the Iberian lynx, Lynx pardinus.
