Mauricio Tolosa

Santa Catarina Island

Born in Chilean Patagonia, Mauricio Tolosa’s work unfolds from a singular question: how can humans regenerate their bond with plants—listening deeply, co-creating with them, and even following their lead? His creative process integrates writing, photography, resonant gardening, and vibrational explorations, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations across art, philosophy, and ecology in an evolving dialogue with the Kingdom Plantae. He shares his work through various forms, including books, photography, video, gardens, vibrational essences, workshops, and conferences. His recent projects include Arborecer (2020), a collection of haiku paired with plant photography; Mi Maestro el Manzano (2023), a logbook of an intimate journey into the Plantae Kingdom; and several contributions to collective books. In 2025, he exhibited photographic works from Anima Natura in the group show Pratiques de la lenteur in Paris. In 2018, he directed the short film Do Apple Trees Dream?
