The study of nature has always attracted Luz Moreno Pinart. In 2019, she completed a residency at the Kujoyama Villa under a programme of the French Institute, the Ministry of Culture and the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation in Kyoto. She worked around the olive tree for three months, experimenting with its fibres and waste to create objects that pay homage to this thousand-year-old tree.

In 2022, she was artist-in-residence at the Accolade Foundation - Institut de France, where she focused on another ancient plant, the stinging nettle. Working with scientists, herbalists, weavers and farmers, she created a piece called "Texere urtica", which explains how the nettle reproduces thanks to its rhizomes and anatomy. The sculpture is made entirely of nettle and copper wire.

"In my artistic practice, I see myself as a researcher; I like to choose an 'ingredient', a theme or a plant and spend months doing historical, scientific, textile research... To end up with a piece that tells the life of these plants and questions the relationship between the environment and man. I like to say that my pieces speak the language of these plants".

During this residency at the Vilaseco space in San Cristovo de Mouricios, she will focus on flax and chestnut trees.
