MANNABOTANICA

At its core lie plant structures, sustainability, time, and the conceptual and visual reinterpretation of natural systems. Its distinctive feature is the hand-built cellulose layering technique, which constructs organic, delicate surfaces while carrying deeper ecological and societal narratives. MannaBotanica’s artworks merge contemporary botanical art, eco-consciousness, and systemic thinking rooted in both engineering and philosophy. Its visual language is marked by intricate detail, slow creation, and a narrative role assigned to materials.
