Ananas comosus (Pineapple)

This illustration belongs to the Flora of Resilience series, being one of Anni Solha’s most iconic and beloved pieces — a symbol that bridges ancestral culture and colonial history. Belonging to the Bromeliaceae family and native to the region between southern Brazil and Paraguay, its name comes from the Tupi word nanas, meaning “excellent fruit.” Brought to Europe by Columbus in the 15th century and renamed piña de Indes (“pine of the Indians”), the plant fascinated Europeans as an “exotic treasure” — a story marked by both wonder and colonial displacement. In this fine art edition, the pineapple stands as a metaphor of cultural strength, and a tribute to the Indigenous peoples of South America.

Flora of Resilience is Anni’s first series of fine art limited edition prints. Paying tribute to Brazilian culture — while celebrating plants of deep symbolic meaning for the native peoples of South America — each illustration reflects on the connection between humans and plants, touching on themes of resilience, belonging, and hope. Hand-drawn exclusively with black fineliner, the series carries one of the pillars of Anni’s work: the research into botanical subjects through scientific illustration explorations, in dialogue with culturally significant Brazilian flora. The illustrations echo both ancestral knowledge and Anni’s own roots as an artist. Limited to just 5 numbered and signed editions per illustration, this project emphasizes exclusivity and authenticity. The production process was carefully chosen to garanttee its longevity, tactile beauty, and sustainable composition. Each edition is delicately crafted in collaboration with a print master who shares her values of precision, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Every detail, from the printing process to the handcrafted tags made with leftover papers and stenciled ink, reflects Anni’s intention to care for resources and to honor the slow, intentional nature of artistic work. What makes this project unique is not only the technical excellence, but also the heart behind it: a conscious practice rooted in culture, science, and a deep love for nature and memory. Owning one of these prints means holding a piece of that story — an artwork meant to last a lifetime.
