Abstract

Vegetable calligraphy, a project that I carried out between 2021 and 2023, is presented as a reflection on contemporary artistic practices linked to nature. By simultaneously caring for plants and artistic work, a symbiosis occurs between both activities, very interesting from the point of view of plastic research. The title of the project includes the unknown code character, which gives way to a new narrative, giving voice to an alternative to reality. Due to its importance as a life resource, its value as a source of artistic experience is pointed out, resulting in works that explore the notions of positive and negative, the idea of art production as something intrinsic to life and the need to Caring for and understanding the environment as one of the keys to highlighting the importance of our ecosystem and full human development.
