The central concept of Larios painting series KHLORIS is based on the idea of the garden as a metaphorical space. Larios seeks to find a certain romantic beauty in the details of nature, in the noises that are its own, in the urban sounds that make their way into the city, that of its streets and parks and in the murmur of the architecture of its churches and cathedrals where the artificial and the natural coexist, creating a mysterious and melancholic beauty, of encounter, loss and nostalgia, an expressive silence where there is talk of revelations, of disappearing, of the passage of time, of twilight and where there is also a feeling of a state of emotional transformation.
Larios used the garden as a metaphor for the soul, a personal refuge where technology merges with concrete spaces for meditation and spirituality, where the urban merges with the natural, resulting in unique and evocative spaces. Each of the pieces is an abode of faith, of spirituality, private chambers for song and prayer, for mystical rituals and contemplation. The concept of these gardens reflects the instrumentation, the elements of form and color as "acoustic" elements, creating an exuberant atmosphere that sonically blossoms like a conceptual garden about the search for beauty and tranquility in a chaotic world. It is an exploration of faith, nature, architecture, and the memory of memory, of what is close, of distant sound that has form, of nearby noise that has color, of worn-out melodies, blurred and repetitive prayers, "sounds" inspired by the Latin Mass, birdsong, Gregorian chants, or Miles Davis "Blue in Green."
