Flora and Fauna: Contemporary Symbolic Art

This workshop invites participants to explore the emotional bond we share with our pets —or animals that have played a significant role in our lives— through the symbolism of flowers.Using an illustrated botanical glossary created by the artist, participants will discover the meanings behind different flowers.

During the session, limited to 5 participants, everyone will have the opportunity to create and take home a piece on a small wooden base designed by the artist, developing a “symbolic story” of their animal inspired by the floral illustrations.The workshop takes place in the artist’s studio, a carefully curated space, over 2 hours, with a small welcome gift. (Suitable for all drawing skill levels.)

The session offers a space for reflection and the creation of a poetic piece, a meeting place for animal and art lovers alike.

Led by Alexandra Belmonte, artist and illustrator devoted to creatures, weaving past and present with art as a home. “My work lives in film, publishing, exhibitions, homes, and brand collaborations.”
