Viviana’s journey into the world of art is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and perseverance. Born and raised in Los Angeles, amidst the chaos of a bustling household, work, and family life, she discovered her passion for artistic expression later in life.
Though always drawn to creativity, it wasn’t until adulthood that Viviana truly uncovered her love for art and painting. What began as a solution to a financial dilemma – replicating expensive wallpaper on her kitchen walls – quickly blossomed into a full-fledged passion. Fueled by a desire to beautify her surroundings and a knack for imitation, Viviana delved into the realms of faux finishing and trompe l’oeil painting just as they gained popularity.
Living in proximity to the esteemed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena provided Viviana with a serendipitous opportunity to hone her craft. Over seven years, she eagerly immersed herself in every night class available, relishing the guidance of accomplished artists and the camaraderie of fellow creatives.
Despite her unwavering dedication, the demands of work, responsibilities, and family commitments often relegated Viviana’s artistic aspirations to the sidelines. Yet, after three decades of refining her skills amidst life’s whirlwind, she has finally seized the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of painting full-time.
Viviana’s art is a vibrant reflection of her spirit – pulsating with bold colors, dynamic contrasts, and a timeless mid-century aesthetic. While she delights in experimenting with various mediums, her heart belongs to the rich textures and expressive possibilities of oils. Through her art, Viviana not only explores the depths of her imagination but also invites viewers on a journey of joy, wonder, and selfdiscovery. Each stroke of her brush is imbued with passion and purpose, weaving a tapestry of emotions that speaks to the soul. For Viviana, art is more than just a form of expression; it is a profound manifestation of her innermost self, a lifelong pursuit that continues to inspire and uplift all who encounter it.
