Natural Art: An Overview of Nature-Inspired Creativity

Natural art is one way you can utilize nature, i.e., all things natural (including resin, wood, clay, etc.), to create your own original piece of art by using these items as the main source of inspiration. The popularity of natural art has increased significantly over the past few years in both homes and galleries as a way to offer a more interesting visual experience than traditional works of art and as an alternative to traditional forms of art.

What is Natural Art?

Natural art seeks to showcase nature’s beauty and harmony through artistic expression, focusing on scenes, plants, and natural textures. The different styles that fall under Natural Art include examples of those that are chosen by the artist, such as Landscape, Botanical or Eco-Art (Environmental Art). Examples of Natural Art vary widely from traditional techniques in Landscape painting to contemporary practices in Environmental Art. Artists often take advantage of natural materials, either as an artistic medium, or as a means of creating inspiration for artwork, by using the patterns and structure found in the natural world.

Types of Natural Art

Landscape Art

Landscape artwork is a form of artistic representation that depicts natural landscapes such as rivers, mountains, and forests. People can admire and appreciate the environment through landscape artwork while also enjoying an aesthetically pleasing addition to the space where they live or work.

Botanical Art

Botanical artwork depicts botanical forms (flowers, plants, and leaves) in a detailed and attractive manner by combining both an accurate scientific representation and a visually pleasing product to create either decorative or educational-art.

Eco-Art or Environmental Art

Eco-art/Environmental Art use recycled products and/or natural materials to produce artwork that informs viewers of environmental concerns and encourages the practice of sustainable and creative developments.

Classification of Natural Art

There are several different ways of classifying natural art: between the traditional and contemporary arts, the dimensionality of the work, i.e. two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and the practical use of the work versus purely decorative (collection). By classifying natural art into these groups, artists, collectors, and lovers of natural art can more easily identify and organize different types of natural art.

Why Use Natural Art for Decor?
