Trails can make you lose if they feel like it

This 70×100 poster is my proposal for the contest “Botanica Fantastica“.
The exhibition is part of Impronte Off, the activity program created by Interno Verde.

If I think of “fantastic botany”, in my mind the psychedelic colors of “Alice in Wonderland” flash immediately.
An absurd world where flowers sing, roses are painted and paths can make you lose your way if you feel like it.

Mushrooms and psychedelic colors

I interpret this enchanted world with a noir tone, between dream and nightmare, diving between herbs and magic mushrooms; you need to know well the properties of the flora of this garden of wonders otherwise a fairy tale can turn into a bad dream in which, Like Alice, you have become smaller than a fungus.

The scenery and colors are dreamy, the contours are not well defined as in a dream of which you do not remember well the details, when you wake up.
