About us
Always looking for inspiration
Trazos de Bosque is the natural union of sensitivity, interests and complicity between Nívola and Marc. Since childhood, both of us have felt nature as something more than a landscape . This certainty has inspired our work and concerns.
Our history
The seed was sown studying Environmental Sciences in Barcelona. There we met, and our shared path began, traveling together, since then, through many forests ...and we have gotten lost in them, without maps, without the goal of getting anywhere, just for the pleasure of being there, savoring that present moment. Also in our backpack, many shared projects promoting contact between people and the environment.
This way of being in nature, without having to reach any peak, is what we want to share with the experiences of Trazos de Bosque , some are walks, others creations and others will be sensory invitations.
Our values and philosophy of life permeate the project, at Trazos de Bosque we give hand to the native materials of our ecoregion, artisanal weaving, inclusive art for all, the circular economy and a slower pace of life .
We dream of a more poetic world, where all living beings live in harmony, where people develop their full potential and sensitivity, feeling part of the rest.
Savoring the moment, experimenting, enjoying and creating in nature transforms us deeply, and is something very comforting on an instinctive level.
