Vivariom draws inspiration from the long tradition of scientific and natural history illustration.

Rather than reproducing historical plates, the project reinterprets their principles — observation, classification, precision and curiosity — through a contemporary visual language.

Each artwork can stand alone, while every new subject contributes to a larger visual encyclopedia.

Vivariom openly uses artificial intelligence and prompt engineering as parts of its image-making process.

Generative technologies are approached as a new medium for visual research and artistic production, expanding the ways natural forms and structures can be explored and represented.

AI is guided by human direction, scientific references and a process of selection and review.

Visual realism does not guarantee scientific accuracy.
Vivariom artworks are therefore reviewed against scientific references, with attention to the defining characteristics of each subject.
Images with significant inconsistencies may be corrected, regenerated or rejected.
AI supports, rather than replaces, a process of research, selection and scientific verification.
