Gerardo Stübing says, "My work aims to show the beauty, harmony and plasticity of the creations of Nature ("Natura naturata" in the concept of Spinoza) as the basis for artistic creation. 

The objective, beyond the strict artistic creation, is to deepen these concepts and to experience an artistic production based on them, seeking to sensitize the observer in the appreciation and respect for our natural environment, as we protect that of what we fall in love, and to fall in love with something or someone previously we have to know it. 

These works are part of my doctoral thesis work in Fine Arts entitled: “Botanika: el concepto Natura naturata, aplicado a la creación plástica desde una perspectiva transmoderna”, which is currently being developed at the Polytechnic University of Valencia."
