Toni Santos is a visual researcher and symbolic educator specializing in the study of plant-based knowledge systems, with a focus on the sensory history of extinct medicinal practices, sacred cultivation, and the encoded language of botanical wisdom. Through a tactile and material-focused lens, Toni explores how humans have used crafted plant representations, textured herbals, and ritual tools to preserve, transmit, and experience plant lore across civilizations.
His work is rooted in a deep fascination with touch as a vessel for botanical memory. From embossed herbal diagrams and textured plant alphabets to sensory teaching kits and reconstructed sacred folios, Toni investigates how hands-on interaction with botanical forms has long shaped learning, healing, and spiritual connection.
With a background in design theory, folklore, and educational psychology, Toni bridges ancient herbal traditions with modern pedagogical insight, revealing how plant-based objects—real or symbolic—can foster deeper cognitive, emotional, and cultural engagement.
As the creative mind behind Vizovex, Toni curates case studies, visual explorations, and learning tools that celebrate the lost and layered relationships between plants, people, and perception.
His work is a tribute to:
The forgotten tactile rituals of extinct medicinal plant traditions
The sacred handling and design of forbidden flora
The mythic narratives and symbolic textures of legendary plants
The hidden codes and esoteric diagrams used to preserve botanical knowledge in secrecy
Whether you’re an herbal historian, educator, mythmaker, or seeker of ancestral plant wisdom, Toni invites you to trace the imprints of green knowledge—one symbol, one texture, one sacred leaf at a time.
