Style and uniqueness of the work
Fitch's work is characterized by a precise and delicate style, where every detail is carefully observed.

In the art print Botanique cryptogamique, the subtle nuances of leaves and cellular structures are rendered with such clarity that they seem almost tangible.

This scientific approach combined with artistic sensitivity makes his work a true bridge between science and art, allowing viewers to appreciate both the rigor of botanical study and the intrinsic beauty of nature.
