About Romanian Botanical Art

Romania has a long botanical tradition, rich with history and knowledge regarding the diverse flora of the region, but no dedicated professional body for botanical artists. This gap in support and recognition has led to a range of challenges for those who wish to pursue botanical art as a legitimate and celebrated discipline.
RSBA exists to change that by providing a platform for artists to showcase their work, connect with one another, and foster a deeper appreciation for the intricate relationship between art and nature.
RSBA nurtures botanical art blending science, nature, and artistic tradition with care, offering workshops, exhibitions, and resources that enable artists to refine their skills and draw inspiration from the beautiful landscapes and plant life that Romania has to offer. This initiative not only aims to support current artists but also to inspire future generations to explore the wonderful world of botanical illustration.
