our practice

founded in 2023, we create mixed media paintings, through an independent practice bridging eastern and western sensibilities.

vivi & vela is a fine arts studio dedicated to abstract expression, exploring color, form, and texture in contemporary painting.

founded on the belief that diversity constitutes the highest form of beauty, our work reflects a dialogue between diverse cultural landscapes, from the vibrant hues of the caribbean to the quiet restraint of wabi-sabi aesthetics in japan. each piece is a reflection of artistic intuition, material exploration, and a pursuit of harmony within abstraction.

our creative philosophy

rooted in natural & cultural influences, our work explores harmony & contrast, expressing cultural nuance & material presence.

  • cultural abstraction

    bridging japanese aesthetics with western sensibilities, these works reinterpret heritage through contemporary abstraction.

  • materiality as identity

    drawing on organic forms and landscapes, layering mineral pigments and natural media to build tactile depth.

  • beauty in contrast

    melding simplicity with opulence and restraint with intensity—affirming diversity as beauty found in contrast.
