A world without plants is a world without life, both literally and figuratively. Besides forming the very basis of human survival on Earth, they are also an important source of creative inspiration, ingenuity, and expression. From scientific explorers like Sir Joseph Banks who travelled across the globe in search of never-seen-before species to impressionist painters like Edouard Manet who sought to capture the subtle beauty of everyday objects, many artists and illustrators have used flora as a powerful means to convey the essence of our very existence.
BOTANICAL INSPIRATION is a timeless collection of artwork and illustrations that feature flora and its many facets through a variety of visual concepts, styles, and techniques. It speaks to lovers of both nature and creativity as a universal language in itself, thoughtfully interpreted by some of today's most intriguing and interesting talents.
Lauren looks after the Design Zone here at Boffins. She loves to read all sorts of things, especially nature writing, books on art and music and she has a passion for vegetarian cookbooks. She likes to spend her spare time pottering in the garden, doing crafts and curling up with her cat Casper.
I absolutely love this vibrant collection of nature illustrations all bound together in the most beautiful gold-foiled hardcover edition. Everything about it is delightful, gold trimmed pages and gorgeous images of botanical life from artists based all over the world. Sure to delight an artistic friend or family member!
