Each visit is a 2-hour contemplative journey through illustration, ceramics, and artist books. At the close, we offer a glass of wine to share reflections in a quiet, unhurried setting.
A series of illustrations, ceramics, and artist books transform the vegetal into a minimal whisper. Visit the exhibition in Madrid and discover how a single gesture traces silent bridges between science, inner landscape, and everyday poetry.

Haiku
Botanical Haiku is born from the slow observation of vegetal forms: leaves that repeat a minimal gesture, stems that draw almost calligraphic lines in the air, flowers that open like a punctuation mark upon time. The exhibition brings together illustration, ceramics, and artist books as three breaths of the same visual poem. Each piece functions as an expanded haiku: it concentrates an essential image of the vegetal world and unfolds it in space through textures, silences, whites, and shadows. It is not about representing nature, but about listening to it: translating into colour, line, and volume the fragility of the living, its quiet resistance, and the almost imperceptible choreography with which it sustains our everyday landscape. Botanical Haiku thus proposes an intimate garden, a contemplative experience where the gaze stills and discovers, in the minimal, the intensity of the sacred.
Garden
In Botanical Haiku, nature appears fragmented into instants: a branch that breaks into a line of ink, a petal that transforms into ceramic relief, a seed that becomes a whispered word between pages. The exhibition is built as a journey of small revelations, where each work is a visual stanza in dialogue with the others. The language of haiku — brief, precise, silent — is transferred to the gesture of drawing, to the pulse of the manual impression on clay, to the unhurried rhythm of reading the artist’s book. This botanical geography is not a scientific inventory but an emotional map: a way of recording how plants inhabit our memories, our griefs, our celebrations. Botanical Haiku invites an attentive and delicate gaze, one that recognises in vegetal forms an ancient wisdom and a possible refuge from the speed of the contemporary world.
