The Soul of Brazilian Flora
Rooted in botanical knowledge and ancestral reverence, our work is slow, intentional, and alive. We believe plants are not just resources—they are storytellers, healers, and guardians of memory.
Our Story
Botanica Brasilis was born from a longing to reconnect—with the land, with the plants that shaped us, and with the ancestral memory they carry in silence.
We hand-paint native Brazilian plants on natural linen, not just to celebrate their beauty, but to honour their ancestral wisdom. Each brushstroke is a form of remembering. A ritual. A quiet act of resistance against ecological collapse.
Rooted in botanical knowledge and ancestral reverence, our work is slow, intentional, and alive. We believe plants are not just resources—they are storytellers, healers, and guardians of memory.
Founded by Cleidi Hearn, a Brazilian botanical artist and former tech entrepreneur, our work bridges hand-painted textile art with botanical research and ancestral wisdom. Each piece is created to preserve the spirit of native Brazilian flora—not as decoration, but as devotion.
We work slowly, with natural materials and deep attention, honoring the relationship between plants, people, and place. Through each brushstroke, we remember the stories, ecosystems, and teachings that modern life has forgotten.
Every piece is crafted to carry, cherish, and pass forward a botanical memory. A memory of place. Of ritual. Of beauty rooted in care.
At Botanica Brasilis, we believe that to honour plants is to honour the Earth itself. Our work is a gesture of reverence—a quiet offering to those who walk with intention and remember where they come from.
The Seis Collection
Six plants · Six biomes · One Earth
The Seis Collection is a sacred offering from Botanica Brasilis—a limited series of hand-painted linen tote bags, each inspired by a single healing plant from one of Brazil’s six major biomes: the Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pantanal, and Pampas.
Each plant chosen carries ancestral significance, used in Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian traditions for healing, protection, insight, or nourishment. Their wisdom is expressed through short poetic messages, printed on individual cards that accompany every bag. These messages are not decorative—they are invitations to listen, to remember, and to reconnect with what is rooted and sacred.
The artwork on each bag is painted by hand, one by one, using high quality water-based textile paint on 100% natural European linen. There are no digital designs, no templates, and no AI—just brush, hand, and memory.
No two bags are identical. Each one carries the mark of time, of hand, of research, and of spirit. Together, the six designs form a visual and spiritual map—reminding us that all life is connected and that the Earth speaks, if we know how to listen.
🌿 Meet the Six Plants
Cattleya labiata (Atlantic Forest)
The wild orchid of the forest teaches presence and beauty in fragility. Her open bloom invites us to soften, to notice, and to honor the sacred in what is fleeting.
Psychotria viridis (Amazon)
A leaf of vision and clarity, long honored in Indigenous medicine. She teaches that true sight begins within, and that the forest has eyes for those who listen deeply.
Copernicia alba (Pantanal)
The Carandá palm rises through flood and sun, offering shelter and balance. A quiet healer of the wetlands, she reminds us to surrender to change and move with the waters.
Handroanthus ochraceus (Cerrado)
The golden ipê bursts into bloom at the driest moment—an act of spiritual resilience. She holds the fire of endurance, teaching that strength can also be radiant.
Cereus jamacaru (Caatinga)
A towering cactus of the dry lands, offering water, shelter, and survival. She teaches protection, patience, and the power of rooting deep in hard places.
Acca sellowiana (Pampas)
With silver leaves and crimson blooms, this fruiting tree ripens slowly and silently. She whispers that sweetness grows where the heart remains open—even in harsh landscapes.
“The Seis Collection is a botanical journey through six sacred plants of Brazil, each one carrying the memory of a biome, a spirit, and the Earth’s enduring wisdom.”
