“Ars et flora” is the fruit of the labour of a multidisciplinary group of artists and professionals who have been brought together out of a concernfor the loss of plant biodiversity. Our aim is to bring to bear our talent and knowledge in raising awareness as to the environmental impact which we as a species are responsible for and to highlight the plight of endangfered flora in Catalonia.
The 17 members are all part of a team. Our work is not only our livelihood it is also a path to personal growth and knowledge. We aren’t looking for customers, but rather collaborators who can participate in our projects, share our goals and who can give us the support we need to achieve success together.
The artists
12 renowned artists who are passionate about watercolor and illustration. Each with an intense personal and professional relationship with the plant world, contributing their personal vision in order to reinterpret some of the plants we risk losing forever.
