Artist Description

Viridios depicts a solitary figure enveloped in a dense network of branching forms that serve as both garment and burden. Derived from the Latin viridis (“green” or “living”), the title points to growth as a gradual process of accumulation rather than abundance. The forms echo roots, lichen, and mycelial networks, suggesting resilience, connection, and the unseen structures that support life. By drawing the growth inward, the figure acknowledges its weight, presenting growth not as ornament, but as something carried and integrated over time.
