"Botanico" - A painting exhibition by Pablo ientile

"Botanico": The Cultivation of Self

This exhibition explores how plants have become symbols of care, identity, and mindfulness in our modern, fast-paced world. Through intimate and expressive paintings, it celebrates the deep emotional bond between people and their plant companions—honoring the quiet power of nature in our homes, cities, and inner lives.

There are deeply personal and cultural connections between humans and the world of plants in an age of aesthetic self-awareness. This painting exhibition examines how the modern individual engages with gardening, houseplants, and floral decoration as more than fleeting trends. These acts become rituals of grounding, identity-building, and quiet resistance against digital alienation.

Plants have always been vital to life on Earth—they’ve accompanied us since the beginning of human existence. Though they do not speak, they grow silently around us, providing oxygen, nourishment, and subtle companionship.

In a time when urban life feels increasingly fast-paced, disconnected, and screen-bound, caring for plants becomes a form of rebellion—a slow, intentional, hands-in-the-soil gesture toward mindfulness, presence, and creativity. From balcony gardens and apartment jungles to community plots blooming between buildings, this exhibition reveals how people cultivate not only greenery but also a deeper sense of place and belonging.

"Botanico" is an homage to our botanical companions—silent yet powerful presences that bring peace, joy, and restoration to our daily lives.

About the Artist

Pablo Ientile is an Argentine artist living and working in Berlin, Germany. He began drawing at the age of 6 and has never stopped since. He graduated in Graphic Design in Trier, Germany, and worked as a freelance illustrator, collaborating with brands such as Li-Ning, Adidas, and Apple. Additionally, he has painted murals in Germany, Singapore, and Indonesia. In 2022, he began expanding his work into paintings and has since held exhibitions in Taiwan, South Korea and Berlin.

Pablo’s work features a variety of characters, from animals to people, with a humorous and whimsical take on social behavior. “My characters do things I would love to do myself but can’t,” explains Pablo about his work. “Some of them engage in extreme sports, while others travel around the world.”

His dream is to exhibit his works in Japan one day.
