LANDSCAPE
Studies of various landscapes using traditional techniques. These studies form part of the preparatory work for the construction of landscape spaces and for the approach to plant taxa. Similarly, they have been used to project future reconstructions of paleolandscapes.
Pinus Nigra 17
This is an image of a Pinus nigra tree seen from an artistic perspective. This tree can be viewed from an artistic perspective through science. Specifically, the perspective and approach of our research group at the University of Murcia, ECCE HOMO, has integrated art into its research processes, and not only as a way of viewing nature or as a visual formula for disseminating results. Our group considers art to be a meta-discipline that serves the research process of other disciplines related to palaeobotany, palaeoecology, archaeology and, ultimately, fields of study that encompass the distant past. Art and science can be good allies in the discovery of the lost natural world.
