  • Meet the Artist: Pazit Segal

    I’m an artist living in Barcelona, a vibrant and inspirational city that respects people and nature. I have dedicated my life to the arts, architecture, theatre design, dressmaking, fine art and art therapy, and I persist on being a voice for art as a magic communication tool and skill. I feel privileged to enjoy nature as a space of serenity and gratitude.



  • When given this monission I was delighted and dived right into getting to know these black and yellow flying beauties. I immersed myself into their world, talked to beekeepers and began to understand their immense love for bees. Soon after, bees started to get involved and be present in my life, on my drawing desk, in my coffee cup, on a magazine cover in my local shop, hoovering above and around me on a daily basis.

    I hope you will experience the fascinating world of bees through my illustrations, I know that ever since I started work on this book I have respected honey even more, I have felt the essence of their existance as pure enchantment.

    Enjoy!
