Ryōan-ji is the Japanese Zen temple in Kyoto, a monastery that gave rise to the idea of the purely abstract Zen garden that inspired this series Francisco Larios' works are done by hand with hundreds of layers of gold leaf. The artist's goal is to allow the work to age along with the collector, which is why some works will appear unbalanced in color. Parts of the work will have different tones, burnish spots, or small, soft cracks.

This artwork, presented as a striking diptych, commands attention with its geometric precision and minimalist elegance. The left panel features an array of abstract shapes, each meticulously arranged against a muted, metallic background. Bold black forms, interspersed with linear patterns, create a dynamic visual rhythm. The right panel echoes this composition but introduces subtle variations, enhancing the dialogue between the two pieces. The recurring motifs of triangles, rectangles, and lines are rendered in contrasting hues, exuding a sense of balance and harmony. The metallic sheen adds a layer of sophistication, shimmering subtly as it interacts with light. This work captivates with its exploration of form, space, and symmetry, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its abstract narrative and discover the harmony within apparent chaos.

Francisco Larios practices painting, open-concept drawing, and the use of software to create two and three-dimensional visual environments. In his imaginary, the postmodern condition is achieved in terms that contemporary culture is the starting point for the elaboration of sceneries that manifest the return to sacred references, philosophical themes, and immemorial fabulations.
In Larios' work, landscape is treated conceptually, sometimes, as space where studies of the dreamlike, the bond between human beings and their surroundings, and the nature of objects develop; in other cases as the practice of graphic representation of mathematical, physical and musical principles which part from the idea of the horizon as divisive line and as a limit.
Larios production is a poetic, ironic, and reflexive exploration of the state of our relationship with faith, will, and destiny.
