Sumario:The interaction and collaboration between artists and scientists have evolved over the years with relevant scientific and social implications. Fossils represent important evidence for evolution and relationship between different species and environment. In this context, paleoart refers to art pieces depicting prehistoric life according to scientific evidence or public perception. Paleoart-inspired pieces may represent fossils or imagined representations of living organisms and their ecosystems. In this context, this Commentary is not a paleoart investigation, but my perspective on how fossils may inspire or be related to artistic representations to address of scientific questions.
