Get to know us

At the heart of our business is the concept of transmuting botanicals with rich historical and cultural significance into bronze. Each artwork serves as a testament to its plant source, preserving its original aura and authenticity. These “botanical bronzes” serve as both visual art and narrative pieces, vividly telling the stories of the botanical-human bond, as seen in examples like the global journey of the apple or the historical trade importance of spices.

Our mission

Our mission is to honor the profound connections between humans and the plant kingdom by transforming botanical specimens into authentic bronze artworks. Through the process of transmutation, we bring forth the beauty and scientific accuracy of nature, creating three-dimensional illustrations that inspire appreciation, understanding, and reverence for our shared environment.

Our vision

We envision a world where the intricate relationships between humans and plants are celebrated through art, fostering a deeper awareness of our ecological interconnectedness. By combining tradition with innovation, we aim to redefine botanical art, creating timeless pieces that resonate culturally, scientifically, and aesthetically, while igniting curiosity and conversation about the natural world.

Philosophy

Rooted in the understanding that humans and plants have coevolved over millennia, we recognize the profound connections that bind us. Our artworks symbolize these relationships, reflecting mutualism, scientific accuracy, and cultural significance. By focusing on botanicals rich in historical and contextual relevance—such as those containing alkaloids that have shaped human civilization—we create pieces that engage viewers on multiple levels.

Products

Our core offerings include a range of bronze botanical sculptures that are meticulously crafted to capture the essence and detail of the original specimens. Each piece is designed to serve as a three-dimensional illustration, enhancing both aesthetic appreciation and educational value. We aim to cater to art collectors, educational institutions, and botanical enthusiasts, offering limited-edition works and collaborations with educational programs.
