Viver’s style has evolved throughout his career much like Matisse or Picasso and as a result he has worked through many movements including neo-figuratism, conceptualism, uglysm, abstraction, and expressionism, among others, on his journey to create his own unique visual language. Between 2004 and 2005 Viver created a series of paintings entitled, “Erotomanias- Las Ceibas.” “Las Ceibas” is a reference to the tropical Ceiba or Kapok trees which are indigenous to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Northern South Am
