BIO: Matus CHaroenjit
Skulls & Bones
Matus CHaroenjit is a premier Thai paleoartist whose professional practice centers on the exact mechanical and structural recreation of prehistoric life. As the driving force behind the studio, their work focuses on highly specialized skeletal reconstructions, translating fragmented paleontological discoveries into comprehensive, anatomically sound landmarks. This methodology bridges demanding anatomical data with profound three-dimensional form, rendering ancient species with uncompromising accuracy.
Matus' career is distinguished by extensive institutional partnerships across Southeast Asia, marked by the creation of large-scale dinosaur skeletal models for permanent display. These major installations span prominent natural history museums throughout Thailand, serving as core educational centerpieces that dramatically elevate regional exhibits.
Each skeletal reconstruction is treated as both a rigorous scientific reference and an immersive public statement—carefully articulated, structurally balanced, and executed to meet strict museum-tier criteria. Through this meticulous dedication to physical form, Fossilarium continues to advance how ancient taxa are preserved and viewed, providing institutions and exhibition spaces with enduring, authentic encounters with Thailand's prehistoric heritage.
BIO: Agustín Carrera
Style and design
Agustín Carrera is an Argentine paleoartist whose work bridges the precision of academic science with the cutting edge of digital sculpture. He studied Paleontology at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), a rigorous foundation that profoundly informs his approach to reconstructing the prehistoric world. In 2021, Carrera transitioned his practice into the digital realm by specializing in ZBrush sculpting, a medium he utilizes to bring complex paleontological concepts to life with vivid dimension and precision.
His professional career is marked by international distinction, featuring high-profile collaborations with premier studios across Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Since 2025, Carrera has lent his expertise to the design team at Sideshow Collectibles, contributing to the creation of premium-tier display pieces and figures.
Each of Carrera's creations represents a seamless synthesis of anatomical accuracy and striking aesthetic appeal, meticulously engineered to honor both scientific discovery and artistic innovation. Through this sophisticated practice, Carrera continues to establish himself as a vital voice in contemporary paleoart, delivering prehistoric reconstructions that are as educationally sound as they are visually arresting.
