A Living Archive of Brazil’s Native Flora
Botanica Brasilis is a contemporary textile art practice rooted in Brazil’s native flora and ancestral plant knowledge. Each hand-painted work functions as a living archive—carrying botanical memory as a gesture of story, spirit, and ecological reverence.
Our Story
Botanica Brasilis was born from a deep longing to reconnect—with the land, with the plants that have shaped us, and with the ancestral memory they carry in silent wisdom.
We hand-paint native Brazilian plants on natural linen—not merely to celebrate their beauty, but to honour their ancestral knowledge and cultural spirit. Each brushstroke is an act of remembrance. A ritual. A quiet form of resistance in the face of ecological collapse.
Rooted in ethnobotanical wisdom and ancestral reverence, our work unfolds slowly, intentionally, and with life. We understand plants not as mere resources, but as storytellers, healers, and guardians of memory.
Founded by Cleidi Hearn, a Brazilian botanical artist and former tech entrepreneur, Botanica Brasilis bridges hand-painted textile art with botanical research and cultural heritage. Every piece is crafted to preserve the spirit of Brazil’s native flora—not as decoration, but as devotion.
We work patiently, using natural materials and deep care to honour the intimate relationship between plants, people, and place. Through each painted leaf and petal, we reclaim stories, ecosystems, and teachings that modern life too often forgets.
Each work carries forward a botanical memory—a memory of place, ritual, and beauty rooted in care.
At Botanica Brasilis, to honour plants is to honour the Earth itself. Our art is a humble gesture of reverence—a quiet offering to those who walk with intention and remember the roots from which they come.
The Seis Art Wall Collection
Six native species. Six biomes. One botanical archive hand-painted on linen.
The Seis Art Wall Collection is a curated series of six original textile works, each hand-painted on natural linen as an act of cultural preservation and botanical storytelling. Created through the slow, intentional practice that defines Botanica Brasilis, these works do not imitate nature—they remember it.
Rooted in ethnobotanical research and ancestral plant knowledge, each piece serves as a living archive: a visual retelling of the medicinal, spiritual, and cultural memory held by a native Brazilian species. This is not textile as craft or decoration, but as memory—a decolonial, place-based art form in which linen becomes a vessel for resistance, continuity, and ecological reverence.
The collection brings together six plant beings, each chosen for their cultural and biogeographic significance within Brazil’s diverse biomes. At Botanica Brasilis, we believe painting a plant is not an act of representation, but of relationship—a practice of listening, remembering, and carrying forward the wisdom plants hold.
The Seis Art Wall Collection is a gesture of this remembering—offered to those who walk with intention and honour the Earth as teacher, archive, and kin.
"The Seis Art Wall Collection is my way of painting not just plants, but the memories they carry—ancestral, ecological, and sacred. Each piece is a quiet act of remembering, a gesture of reverence for the wisdom rooted in Brazil’s native flora."
