Nature Reimagined/ volume 86

In every era, artists have turned to nature as a mirror, a refuge, a teacher, and a source of unending wonder. Yet the 21st century brings a new lens through which to engage with the natural world—one shaped by technological transformation, ecological uncertainty, and shifting cultural perspectives. In this special 86th edition of Collect Art Magazine, Nature Reimagined, we explore how contemporary artists across the globe reinterpret, reconstruct, and re-envision nature in ways that speak profoundly to our time.

This issue gathers an extraordinary constellation of international voices—painters, sculptors, photographers, installation artists, digital creators, and multidisciplinary practitioners—each offering a distinct dialogue with the natural world. For some, nature becomes an intimate emotional landscape; for others, it becomes a conceptual field used to confront environmental realities or challenge traditional representations. Across every page, nature is not merely depicted—it is transformed.

From delicate abstractions inspired by organic rhythms to immersive environments that blur the boundaries between the artificial and the living, the artists featured in this edition push beyond observation. They reconstruct ecosystems from memory, invent hybrid species, explore cycles of decay and renewal, and question humanity’s shifting place within larger ecological systems. Their works invite viewers to look again—more closely, more curiously, and more critically—at what “nature” means today.

Accompanying the artworks are insightful biographies, revealing artist statements, and intimate interviews that open the creative process from within. These personal narratives shed light on the experiences, philosophies, and cultural contexts that shape each artist’s reimagined vision of nature. Together, they create a tapestry of perspectives that span continents, disciplines, and generations.

Nature Reimagined reflects not only on the visible forms of the natural world but on its metaphors, its mythologies, and its emotional echoes. This edition celebrates nature as a dynamic, ever-evolving force—one that continues to inspire creativity, resilience, and reflection, even as the world around us changes in unpredictable ways.

Through these pages, readers are invited into landscapes both familiar and fantastical, into ecosystems built from paint, fiber, pixels, memory, and hope. May this volume encourage a renewed sense of wonder and a deeper appreciation for the countless ways artists continue to reinvent our relationship with the living world.
