“Gabriela Salazar is a Mexican floral designer, gardener, and author whose work exists at the intersection of flowers, landscape, and artistic expression.

After studying Interior Design at the Inchbald School of Design, she returned to Mexico to create la Musa de las Flores, a practice rooted in seasonality, atmosphere, and a deep relationship with nature.

Working from her garden in Valle de Bravo, Gabriela approaches flowers not simply as decorative elements, but as living forms capable of carrying emotion, memory, and a profound sense of place. Her work is guided by observation rather than rigid rules, allowing flowers, gardens, and landscapes to quietly shape the creative process.

Over the years, her practice has evolved beyond floral design into a broader artistic exploration that includes gardens, workshops, creative direction, and immersive experiences centered around beauty and the natural world. Whether creating for intimate gatherings, large-scale celebrations, or cultivated landscapes, her work seeks to create spaces that feel deeply alive, poetic, and emotionally resonant.

The garden has become central to her philosophy and creative life. Originally imagined as a source for flowers, it slowly transformed into something far more meaningful: a place of reflection, experimentation, and artistic freedom. It is there, through the changing seasons, that much of her visual language and understanding of flowers continues to emerge.

In 2023, Gabriela published The Artistry of Flowers with Rizzoli, sharing her philosophy and artistic approach to flowers with an international audience. Today, her work continues to move fluidly between floral design, gardens, teaching, and collaborations, always guided by a desire to create experiences that reconnect people with beauty, nature, and a slower way of looking.”
