The article “From garbage is born flower” examines the connection between art, beauty and the environment, highlighting the regenerative potential of disposable materials in a scenario marked by consumerism and social inequalities. This work revisits several philosophical perspectives on the concept of beauty, including contributions from Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Kant, and Roger Scruton. With a qualitative approach, the study illustrates how beauty, sensory experience, order, and sustainability can coexist. In music, the compositions “Aquarela”, composed by Toquinho and Vinícius de Moraes, and “What a Wonderful World”, performed by Louis Armstrong, stand out. In architecture, the “Garden of Versailles-France”, designed by André Le Nôtre, “Salgado Filho Square”, signed by Burle Marx, was presented. In the visual arts, works such as “O beijo”, by Gustav Klimt, and “Carnaval nos Arcos da Lapa”, by Heitor dos Prazeres, are presented. The text emphasizes the ability of art to transform adversity into beauty, exploring examples of creations by Vik Muniz, Oseas da Mata and Evânia de Paula. It reinforces the concept of biophilia, aligning with the message of Pope Francis’ encyclical “Laudato Si”.
