Beatriz Acevedo by Beatriz Acevedo Art

My art is inspired by scientific botanic illustrations celebrating women botanists and their contribution to science, and offering a modern view of how to look at nature. I rely on drawing and visual reflection as the starting point of my work, which is expressed in paintings, collage and illustration. I am interested in beauty and art-based methodologies informing educational practices and pedagogies for sustainability. I am wholeheartedly committed to spread the message about sustainability and to claim attention about climate change and its devastating effects for the planet. With my drawings I aim at celebrating the exuberance of tropical forests around the world, and particularly from the Amazon, where I come from.
