Botanica Brasilis is a painting practice of Brazilian-born artist Cleidi Hearn centred on cultivated plants.

Emerging from sustained familiarity with cultivation in rural Brazil, the practice develops long-term painting series in which the same cultivated species return across successive works.

Painted on suspended flax linen through translucent layers, each scroll records a different encounter, allowing the image to remain open as it develops over time.

Cultivation provides the conceptual framework of the practice. It organises the subject, the material and the making of each painting, inviting sustained attention to cultivated life.
