On Contemporary Botanical Art

Abstract

Botanical art travels from various historical forms into a contemporary approach that calls for a bold redefinition of its practice. This article aims to introduce the reader to the general context of botanical art production today, and to its core new facets, mirroring environment, education, and new understanding in creative industries. Its relevance lies in its capacity to connect the wide public to general core climate and environmental debates; also botanical art is called to raise awareness on the interconnectivity of higher education sectors that whiteness the dissolution of their (de)limitations by hybrid new age creative approaches.
