Welcome to Vila Slemen - Where Art Meets Nature

As a professor of fine arts and a herbalist, I am devoted to creating with natural materials that resonate deeply with our connection to the earth. 

Recently, I have crafted something entirely new in the world of botanical art. On my small farm, Vila Slemen, nestled in the stunning landscapes of Slovenia, I proudly present my unique Herbarium tiles—the first of their kind—where real dried plants are transformed into captivating artistic pieces.

Each tile tells a story of nature's delicate beauty, preserved through careful herbalist techniques and brought to life through my fine art expertise. These one-of-a-kind creations expertly bridge the gap between scientific botanical preservation and contemporary artistic expression, offering you not just a decoration, but a piece that is both scientifically fascinating and aesthetically enchanting. 

Imagine how these Herbarium tiles could elevate your living spaces.

For those embarking on a renovation of a charming old house, these tiles are ideal for infusing a touch of nature into the kitchen, seamlessly harmonizing with vintage architecture while adding a fresh, artistic update. They serve as a beautiful reminder of the natural world, making your kitchen feel alive and inviting.

Conversely, if you’re designing a new, contemporary kitchen or a modern bathroom, these tiles will stand out beautifully, enhancing sleek lines and minimalist aesthetics.

They bring elements of the outdoors inside, creating a warm, organic charm that balances modernity with the tranquility of nature. The organic allure of the tiles can transform a stark space into a serene oasis, inviting inspiration and calm into your daily routine.

Every Herbarium tile is meticulously handcrafted, featuring authentic dried botanicals that I personally select and prepare. As the pioneer of this art form, I blend years of academic knowledge in fine arts with profound herbalist wisdom, creating pieces that celebrate the intricate beauty and uniqueness of the natural world.

Discover the intersection of science, nature, and art through these exclusive Herbarium tiles. Embrace their elegance and versatility, capturing preserved moments of botanical wonder that can transform your space into a sanctuary of creativity and nature. With these treasures, you curate a living narrative, bridging the past and present while nurturing your environment with the beauty of the earth. Elevate your home with these exceptional works of art, and let nature flourish within your living spaces.
