About Vivien

Vivien is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

My work deals with aspects of past, present and future. And as I discover more about where I come from, where I am and where I am going, my work takes on a richer more soulful attribute not consciously perceived at the onset.

My work is an extension of my current dreams and personal philosophy. People can be experienced in more than a smile or hair style. Everyday we leave traces of who we truly are. Name brands and make up can try to hide us, but in the end our truth shines through. Though sometimes duller than we would like to admit. But our traces never lie.
