What is Green Wall Art?

A simple definition of Green Wall Art:

Green wall art, is essentially any wall art that incorporates green elements like plants, moss or ferns - living or preserved. There are many types of moss, ferns and other natural elements that we use in our art to form a natural creation that when installed or hung on the wall, can truly transform your space.

We create moss walls that cover your wall from floor to ceiling, we can wrap our designs around pillars or in foyers. We also design framed pieces, shop our green wall art collection to see some examples. Big or small, this unique wall art adds a wow factor to virtually any living or working space. It can make an incredible first impression on guests, friends, relatives, clients, interviewees and investors alike, enhancing their mood and overall perception of your business.

Living v s. Preserved

Living Green Art:

Green wall art that is made from live plants is often referred to as a Living art or a living wall. These are popular, but they require a lot of maintenance. Living art can last (at least in theory) about 25 years. However, a great deal of care and attention is required. Most pieces require more care and maintenance than the average house plant requiring water, fertilizer, proper drainage and access to sunlight or artificial grow lights. Reinforced walls may also be required to support the weight of the living plants. It can be difficult to give these impressive pieces the TLC that they deserve, especially in a busy workplace.

Preserved Plants for Art:

Artisan Moss has developed a simplified solution for green wall art. The great thing about our moss art is that it provides all the mood and cognition-boosting benefits of living art, without requiring the time and money to care for living walls. That's right! Not one of our pieces from our kokedama hanging moss balls right through to our gigantic custom made moss walls requires a drop of water or a ray of sunlight.

This is because the natural preservative process that we use keeps the plants in our pieces looking (and feeling) as though they're alive while also ensuring that they are completely zero maintenance. Read more about how to care for an Artisan Moss plant painting.
