Greenery abounds in the large-scale murals of Italian artist ONIRO<\/a>, who often focuses on themes of interconnectedness and balance, especially between humans and the natural world. In “Coltivazione del Se\u0301,” or “self-cultivation,” a human form emerges from the leaves and shadows of a burgeoning plant, while an opening of sky between branches reveals a facial silhouette in an untitled mural on an olive oil processing workshop.<\/p>\n

In 2022, ONIRO completed an ambitious series that links three neighboring communities along the Via Aurelia, an ancient Roman artery in Italy constructed around 241 B.C.E. that remains a busy commercial thoroughfare today. “Each mural is a necessary part for the others, like organs that form an organism, and which as a whole has a greater value than the sum of the individual parts,” the artist says.<\/p>\n

The three pieces in Organismo,<\/em> or “body,” are composed in a loose, painterly style to depict Gaia\u2014the ancient Greek goddess who personified the earth\u2014an island shaped like the human heart, and a peninsula shaped like lungs with flowing, bronchial inlets.
