ABSTRACT={The exploration of an extraterrestrial imaginary presupposes a curiosity for plant forms rather than ani-mals, which have long remained the preferred models of painters. The contemporary artist, detached from the canons of historical representation, can, more easily than in the past, exercise his creative power analogically, embracing a living complex and budding. The rediscovery of vegetal forms and expressions, round, sinuous, hybrid and abundant, offers, by this return to archaic, reproductive or dreamed forms, paths to the anticipation of cosmic life.}}
