This striking work juxtaposes a female portrait enveloped in lush, colorful vegetation. Her serene and expressive face emerges from a profusion of emerald green leaves, vibrant flowers, and ripe fruit. The vivid reds and golden yellows of the plants contrast boldly with the dark background, lending a mysterious depth. The woman's gaze, both gentle and piercing, seems to merge with her surroundings, symbolizing a profound communion with nature. The meticulous detail of each plant element demonstrates impressive technical mastery, while the harmonious arrangement of colors illustrates the artist's sensitivity. This work is thought-provoking, prompting reflection on the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world, while captivating with its vibrant beauty and rich symbolism.
This work by Viridiana Céladon is part of a series of paintings exhibited at the Atelier Pièce Unique in November 2025 as part of the "Delights of Mexico" exhibition.
"The paintings have names of typical Mexican dishes; these names resonate like new territories to explore. The foods become trees, jungles, roads, and the meats become guides." (Viridiana Céladon).
The title is a wink! Mole poblano…in Mexican cuisine, mole is a sauce made with chili peppers, cocoa, sesame, peanuts, tomatoes and tortilla (fried and crumbled) usually poured over pieces of chicken.
In this painting, which evokes the lushness of a reinvented nature dear to the artist, we find some of the ingredients of this culinary specialty, perhaps originating from the state of Puebla in Mexico.
The Atelier Pièce Unique gallery can arrange the framing of this artwork; please contact us for this service.

Presentation
Sophie Lambert, whose artist name is Viridiana Céladon, graduated from the Van der Kelen Institute of Painting in Brussels, where she learned the classic techniques of decorative painting.
She began her career working with interior designers and then developed her personal techniques in her studio in Vincennes (Paris).
She has exhibited her work since 2006 in the "Salon des réalités nouvelles" in Paris. She has twice received the Taylor Foundation Prize in Paris.
The artist's work is distinguished by its palette of bright colors and the presence of sinuous lines that are metaphors of imaginary roads in a landscape of a nature reinterpreted by the artist who weaves like a lacemaker lines where thoughts and sensations mingle.
