Botanical Art Worldwide 2025

The 2025 Botanical Art Worldwide (BAWW) project celebrates the biodiversity of crops that have been vital to humans for millennia.

I have the honor of being the sole botanical artist representing France in Belgium for Botanical Art Worldwide in 2025.

For this year’s theme, I chose to portray the chayote vine (Sechium edule), an ancient crop valued for its culinary and textile industry uses. My artwork, which features the plant’s fruit, stems, shoots, leaves, and flowers, is the result of over 600+ hours of work and two years of dedicated research.

Despite facing personal challenges, I have completed my painting in time for the September exhibition.

This is one of the most demanding projects I’ve ever undertaken, emotionally and physically, but I’m proud to have contributed to this beautiful initiative and to have represented France in this international celebration of plants and botanical art.
