"Art is a celebration of the Divine!"
Vivianne Nantel

My work contemplates questions, reflects, and communicates on spiritual, psychological, metaphysical, philosophical and social levels about the human spirit, peace, self-realization, identity and evolution. The work often attempts to demystify reality. Guidance is given to me in vision and contemplation: I sit in silence within my inner cave, let the spirit and the energy flow, creating through me. My greatest inspiration is the Divine, the Yoga tradition, the human spirit, Eastern thought, and the life force, which manifests and permeates this entire creation and nature. I am only a vehicle to express, glorify and worship the wonder, mystery, beauty of oneness and interconnectedness of the universe.

"Duality"

After going through a major, dramatic life experience and epiphany on January 2001, a paradigm shift of consciousness and a deeper spiritual metamorphosis naturally took place within the core of my being. This profound transformation is still unfolding and could immediately be noticed not only in my daily actions and words, but also in my artistic work. My hope is the work will bring about more awareness, self-discovery, thus helping us to expand our consciousness and radiating our light, love and compassion to the entire world and all its inhabitants. Every breath, thought, word, canvas, and action are offered to God. In the act of surrendering everything, even the soul, I find refuge in the eternal One. The work itself is a journey into the realm of the unknown, and yet a rediscovery of the known.
