PHYTOBIOSOMES

The Phytobiosomes series is inspired by the scientific realities, provoking an experience that is visually and cognitively stimulating but also promotes well-being while encouraging mental and physical health. It reminds us that it is beneficial to occasionally divert our gaze from our immediate technological present, where mind and body are separated, and contemplate their poetic reunion.

PROJECT REALIZED

As a space, a Hospital is especially suited for Picadas’s anatomical and therapeutic works. Just as hospitals serve as the environment par-excellence of medical healing, so Picadas’s artworks heal the human soul. The hospital–a major comfort zone–constitutes the necessary substratum for the merging of science, art and medicine, in which Picadas’s art functions as a re-introduction of nature.
