Description
Herbarium Montis is a tribute to the fragile beauty of mountain flowers. It brings together some twenty paintings and drawings created using mixed media on 300 g watercolor paper, in sizes ranging from A5 to A3. Each work takes the form of a plate, in the style of old herbariums or cabinets of curiosities, and seeks to capture the ephemeral delicacy of alpine flora.
