Sophie Steengracht Discusses Botanical Art Practices on Kunst is Lang

Artist Sophie Steengracht recently appeared on the program Kunst is Lang. She creates drawings, paintings, and etchings that depict natural subjects with an atmospheric and animated quality. Steengracht produces her own pigments by extracting them from plants cultivated in her allotment garden. She also incorporates botanical materials such as bark from pruned fruit trees. Her work highlights the significance of plants, corals, and root systems to humanity, aiming to deepen our connection with the natural world.
