The World of Westloft Design, Interiors & Decorative Arts

Botanical Art

Art depicting plants, from carefully observed studies to expressive interpretations.

The definition

What is Botanical Art?

Botanical art takes plant life as its subject, including leaves, flowers, branches and whole specimens. Scientific botanical illustration has specific descriptive purposes, while decorative botanical pictures may prioritise composition or expression. A plant subject does not by itself establish scientific accuracy.

The Westloft perspective

In the World of Westloft

Choose the scale and character of the foliage as carefully as its colour. A branch study or bold leaf print can bring structure to a room as well as a reference to nature.
