In Ramirez’s words, the Clorofilas is “a creative laboratory that explores the aesthetic potential of vegetation as a primary source for experimentation”. Since launching the project, the artist, who currently lives in England, has worked on a vast range of projects such as set design, botanical and floral design, and education workshops.
From transforming a disused Edwardian public toilet block into a botanical haven, to creating a stunning living wall, where earthy moss is beautifully contrasted with succulents in pretty pastel tones, The Clorofilas lab has a knack of turning banal spaces into places of beauty.
Branching out
Twig, the latest offshoot from Clorofilas is a botanical and floral design studio in the UK that offers a unique alternative to traditional floristry and gardening and a new way of looking at plants by integrating them into interesting and unexpected spaces.
