Our Story
Morocco's unique and diverse flora and fauna remain significantly underrepresented artistically.
From the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastal regions to the towering Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert, this extraordinary country's wildlife has never received the artistic and scientific illustration it deserves.
This lack of visual representation underscores the untapped potential for exploration and conservation efforts in this diverse North African nation. Nature Art Morocco was born to fill that gap — to give Morocco's biodiversity a visual voice that is both scientifically rigorous and artistically compelling.
We believe art is one of the most powerful tools for building a relationship between people and the natural world around them.
Hello, I'm Haytam
"A self-taught scientific illustrator starting out in this fascinating field. As a kid, I always loved drawing and exploring nature. I would spend hours sketching animals and plants, captivated by their details and diversity.
Now, with Nature Art Morocco, I'm combining these passions to make nature art forms more accessible and engaging. My goal is to spark the same curiosity and awe for the natural world in others that I've felt since childhood. Through my work, and with the help of other artists, I hope to inspire a deeper connection with nature."
I illustrate under the pseudonym Akairos Arts, combining my biological background with a passion for drawing to create accurate illustrations of wildlife across various taxa — from Morocco's endemic amphibians to its arthropod fauna.
I invite you to take a look at my portfolio, where I've gathered a selection of my illustrations inspired by the natural world. And if you're an artist, naturalist, or scientist with a story to tell about Morocco's biodiversity, I'd love to hear from you.
