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

Beginning with memories of rural Brazil, Cleidi Hearn returns to the same cultivated species across successive paintings on suspended flax linen. Built slowly through translucent layers, each work remains open as the image gradually comes into view.

Cultivation provides the conceptual framework of the practice. Plants, linen and painting are brought together by the same temporal conditions of repetition, waiting and gradual transformation. Painting invites sustained encounters with cultivated life, allowing attention to unfold at the pace of cultivation itself.
