Lorien Suarez-Kanerva's work reflects a profound reverence and fascination with nature's intricate patterns and our connection to the cosmos. As an abstract geometric artist, she explores how universal beauty and symmetry emerge from growth laws and geometrical arrangements. These patterns—evident in tree branches, flower petals, and dynamic systems like water currents—mirror the rhythms of life and inspire her compositions. Through prismatic color and form, Lorien aims to evoke wonder and invite contemplation about the interconnectedness of existence.

"Wheel within a Wheel" emphasizes axial symmetry, using concentric circles to create vibrant densities that echo the order found in natural forms. "Élan Flow" captures dynamic motion in phenomena such as lightning storms and blood circulation, exploring the cosmic interplay between chaos and harmony within living systems.

Works like "Wooded Terrain" and "Breath of Life" highlight nature's resilience, celebrating deviations from perfect fractals as expressions of adaptation. These variations, visible in weathered ecosystems or multi-generational root systems, reveal a visual language of survival and renewal.

The "Drift and Root" series extends this inquiry into a tactile, embodied realm, where geometry becomes felt as much as seen. Through weaving, fiber, and layered material processes, Lorien reflects on the dual forces of movement and anchoring—migration and belonging, change and continuity. The works hold the tension between what drifts through time and memory and what takes root through place, lineage, and lived experience. Subtle asymmetries, rhythmic repetitions, and hand-built structures echo natural cycles of erosion, growth, and return, allowing each piece to unfold slowly and invite quiet recognition rather than immediate resolution.

The series "California Native Plants" stems from a personal effort to reintroduce native flora to her surroundings. Inspired by John Muir's reflections on California's wild beauty, these paintings honor the geometry of each bloom and its role within broader ecosystems.

Lorien aims to cultivate a profound appreciation for the intricate patterns that shape our existence while deepening our understanding of the natural and cosmic forces that sustain life. This exploration encompasses the fundamental principles governing nature, the dynamics of adaptation, and the profound interconnectedness that unites all living organisms.
