Among the large number of series produced by Damien Viel, those which touch on the imagery of nature present, in my opinion, a very particular interest.
The artist explains that he developed, at a young age, a great sensitivity for biodiversity and from this same sensitivity a rich and committed imagination is born.
His work then resonates with a need to develop a new awareness of the world in which we live by sharpening our perceptions of it. The works of Damien Viel allow us to question our relationship with nature by revealing what is invisible to the naked eye and the complexity of the interactions between all living organisms.

Utopian Ecosystems
by Damien Viel
As a child, Damien Viel lived very close to nature, already aware that he was part of a whole; this sensitivity is found today in each of his works which themselves refer to molecular biology as well as to human physiology and metaphysics...
The works produced by the artist then integrate evolutionary series that can interact with each other and exalt each other, thus reproducing the pattern of evolution according to which living things adapt to their environment and to other organisms that surround it to better survive.
During his research, he realizes that there are many similarities and connections between very different backgrounds by choosing to associate them, he offers a new perception and invites us to look at the world differently.
