In 'Coalescing Geometries' the painter expresses a creative response to her environment and an inner sense of the essence of nature's growth force.

The designs intricacy with its prismatic color sensibility springs from a love of nature and its patterns.

The ethereal and kinetic sensations reflected in 'Coalescing Geometries'reflect the growth patterns found in living forms.

These geometries we recognize and know from our sensorial experience of nature in our immediate environment.

The geometries found in this monograph are associated with those seen in plant growth, flowers, waves, spirals in shells, pine cones and also in mineral structures such as crystals.

While working with geometrical arrangements, she finds the ""movement, universal beauty and symmetry inherent to structures stemming from laws of growth.

A shared numerical pattern in nature that permeates the arrangement of parts amongst the whole can be seen in the leaves and branches of a tree or the petals of a flower.

Reviews for Lorien Suarez-Kanerva Coalescing Geometries

“In her paintings Lorien Suárez-Kanerva evinces that post-Cubist heritage, and the Modernist – now neo- Modernist – principles that heritage inheres. Continually researching science and philosophy for further inspiration, Suárez-Kanerva displays – and reaffirms – the complex intellectual and spiritual motivations set forth in Modernist discourse, making her, as stated before, something of a Neo-Modernist and Reconstructivist. - Peter Frank of the Huffington Post “It’s Suárez’s artistic hand over canvas or paper, the painter’s sole imprint, that sets the conception of this ingenious imagery. The work merges two essential elements of visual plasticity appropriated from modernist aesthetics, a potent graphic line of defined contours that strongly delineate and give character to forms , and a chart of colors that desegregate and disseminate into rich tone values and hues . - Milagros Bello PH.D “When we get so close to an experience that we no longer know its name, it loses some of its fixed identity, and we lose some of ours. This magical transaction is at the heart of the paintings of Lorien Suárez-Kanerva. She focuses her attention on the forms of growing things, drawing so near that their essential natures begin to emerge clearly. - Art Critic John Mendelsohn
