This portrait series, commissioned by Warner Music, was created to celebrate the release of Riopy’s « Thrive » album in 2023. Photographed at the Meise Botanical Garden in Belgium, the images capture the pianist surrounded by nature, embodying the themes of growth and serenity that resonate in his music. The natural environment enhances the sense of harmony and introspection that defines both the artist and his work.
