Showcase the garden and plants of your artistic universe

Exhibizone proudly presents Gardenia 2023.

Claude Monet once said: "I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers".

Gardenia 2023 is inspired by his quote and all the beautiful gardens in your artistic universe. 

The plants' world of trees, leaves, and flowers shape our world and generously extends lives. The fantastic landscapes soothe our nerves and present peace and serenity. Rain or shine, gloomy or cheerful, green grass, and natural landscapes are somewhere to go and something to create if you are an artist.  

For Gardenia 2023, we are looking for all real and imaginary expressions of the botanical world, plants, herbs, vegetables, forests, trees, grass, flowers, and landscapes including not limited to:

■ Natural World: Display real or imaginary world of herbs, plants, vegetables, grass, flowers, forests, trees, and landscapes; whether illuminating or mysterious, scary or serene, bright or enigmatic.

■ Landscapes: All natural or man-made landscapes can resemble the beauty and kindness of mother nature.

■ Historical Aspects: Herbs, plants, and flowers have always been part of cooking, foods, economic and political history of the world.

■ Cultural Reflections: Japanese gardens, British meadows, French greens, American yards, etc.

■ Healing Power: Herbs and flowers play an essential role in saving and extending lives of other creatures. 

■ Feeding: Plants have always been a fundamental source of the food supply chain for all creatures on the planet, including humans.

■ Flowers Language: Flowers present their own meaning and language among people. For instance, a red rose states patinate love, a daisy expresses new beginning, or friendship, and a white violet presents innocence. 

■ Secret Gardens: Been the subject of several movies and music projects, secret and magical gardens in fantasy world of our desires are known to us since childhood.
