Inspired by botanical archives, natural history collections, and urban ecologies, Seraphina Sol restores appreciation for the natural world: where texture, harmony, and story are central to the experience.
Seraphina Sol is an artist and creative director that is bridging visual art, design, and environmental research.
Based in Ontario, CANADA, she works with collaborators and institutions worldwide. Her background in art history, architectural theory, sustainability, and botanical studies, focuses her attention to the quiet relationships between the organic world and the built environment. Seraphina’s practice is defined by deep attentiveness to materiality—earth, stone, plant life—and recognizes the way these elements give shape to our world and continue to be shaped by time. She brings stories of sustainability to life through her paintings, botanical art, and scientific illustrations. Her works are featured in prominent publications and exhibitions that promote the beauty of the natural world and and inspire its conservation.
Seraphina Sol works across fine art, commercial illustration, and site-specific exhibits. Whether creating hand-rendered compositions for global brands or building layered, paintings for exhibitions and private collectors, she maintains a consistent focus on materiality, ecology, and form. Her works are grounded in natural materials: botanical inks, hand-mixed pigments, seed-infused papers, and are shaped by a slow, tactile process that mirrors the harmony of the natural world.
“I’ve dedicated my practice to commemorating the beauty of our planet and communicating the research of scientists - but through visuals that can convey what data could not achieve alone.”
— Artist, Seraphina Sol
