About Vivi

Vivi is a visual artist based in South East London. Born in Brazil, she grew up in one of Brazil’s most culturally lively states, Pernambuco, where she was exposed early to paintings, woodcut artworks, and street art.

Vivi works in oils, acrylics, and pastels. Her vibrant colours and spontaneous brushwork are influenced by the exciting art scenes, diversity and sociocultural factors she experienced in Brazil.

Her work is the result of her inner conflicts and cultural movements. She applies concepts of freedom, anxiety, self-deception, interpersonal relationships, and sociocultural matters.

Her creation process consists of two stages: writing and painting consecutively. Her style is figurative and textured, and through her ability to use bold colours and free brushwork, she brings the female figures and their conflicts to life.
