“People are surprised by the
power of Vivianne’s work,” says Chris Tuggle. “Her
art stands out because of the way it makes you feel. Being a gallery
owner, I get so many people who come in here wanting to choose
art to match their color scheme. You buy Vivianne’s work
strictly because of the way it makes you feel. She is extremely
good. When you see her work, you can tell it’s not something
she saw and decided to paint.”

I am at the point in my life that
art collecting is a hobby. When my eyes first hit "Spring
Blossom", it stopped me in my tracks. I knew when I saw this
piece that it was going to be my first original acquisition in
my collection. It is a powerful piece that captures the spirit
and the soul. This power and presence in Vivianne's work is why
she is fast becoming recognized in the world of art!
Darren Lewis, Retired Major
League Baseball player (SF Giants, Boston Red Sox, & Chicago
Cubs)
“I
met Vivi in a Hatha yoga class. Lucky me. Her effervescent personality
combined with her strong spiritual sense was intoxicating. Long
after, I was surprised to learn of her amazing talent as an artist
(She’s quite modest). After viewing her works at an open
Studio event, I was so taken by her art, I knew I had to take
one home. The vividly painted “Divine Energy” got
my attention with its powerful spirit and blissful serenity--this
was mine! I have since purchased another piece, this time a very
affordable Giclee print, “Duality”. The quality is
remarkable, and for me she has captured reality into mysticism.
I knew the works were special when my husband was just as taken
with them as I (and that doesn’t happen too often). Love,
peace & harmony. Namaste

"When I was searching for a painting for my Spa Meditation
Room wall, Vivianne magically appeared with the perfect one to
enhance the vibration of the room. Not only does the painting
look exquisite, the energy that emanates from it takes you into
a state of deep peace. I am so grateful!"

“Vivianne demonstrates her artistic
gifts in so many ways – in photography, in painting, and
through her writing. She brings to her painting the richness of
all of the other media in which she works. I adore my Vivianne
Nantel original painting, which embodies all of the depth of my
feelings for nature and life. When I look at the dove in my painting,
my spirit lifts to heaven, bringing me a sense of peace and love.

Acosta Skin Care Salon

"Having earlier purchased an
important piece from Ms. Nantel for our corporate collection,
I was pleased to have purchased two additional works for my personal
residence. Her interesting and vibrant painting style captures
so many human emotions, which can best be described as "peering
at the inner soul with a colorful looking glass"
Scott Rodrick from Rodrick Management

“I
own five original artworks by artist Vivianne Nantel. Most have
been in my homes for several years. They are always the topic
of conversation by all my guests. Ms. Nantel is truly an inspired
artist, and I am honored to have her creations in my life.”

“We are the proud owners of not one, but three of this artist
Vivianne Nantel’s paintings. They move us, and all our friends
make wonderful comments as they feel their souls elevated. You
feel the power of this extraordinary artist!”
Thomas and Aida Vellotti, Vellotti

“The painting that we own by Ms. Nantel is
both warm and haunting, and yet familiar and metaphysical. At
first glance, it appears to be an image of an elegant Renaissance-era
lady, adorned in colorful brocade clothing, and dominated by a
hat that covers her eyes. But a closer look reveals the hat is
more than a garment—It is a link to the mind, to the spirit.
It is a powerful painting, and its power comes from its subtlety
of imagery. Being the sort of people that have an analytical mind,
having this painting on our wall gives us a sort of windows into
metaphysical concepts that transcend the boundaries of reality.
Needless to say, it is a work of art we deeply treasured.”

“Vivianne Nantel’s explosive energy
and images made an indelible impression upon me. I am impressed
that the clarity and vigor of her vision remain so vividly in
my mind. Each painting seems to be fueled with a desire of freezing
and framing an emotion. The painting I own is, The Gods are Crying,
and it is amazing to see the response of all my friends when they
see this work. It is always the most favorite work of art among
my entire art collection.

“My
love for Vivianne Nantel’s’ work increases every time
I see it. I am fortunate to own several pieces of her work. Owning
her art will bring joy into your heart, and your spirit will rejoice
each time you see it as it does for mine!”
Deborah Rodinsky, Interior Designer

“The first thing I see when I walk into my
office is Vivi's self-portrait as a mystical cat, which I treasure
since I purchased it in 2001. The colors are so brilliant and
cheerful, and the range of emotions felt in the painting are many.
I look at this painting and see many sides of myself in it. It
is like a self-discovery. This artwork is one I shall admire for
many years to come. Thanks Vivi for sharing your artistic abilities
with the world.”
Barbara Thomas, Retired Clinical

“Vivianne Nantel, the artist: her art is
vibrant and sumptuous in palette. It inspires peaceful warmth
in the hearts of all who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity
to gaze upon such profound, metaphysical, and romantic spiritual
masterpieces. If you enjoy works that are provocatively erupting
with color, dancing with sensuous curvilinear lines and lush with
expressive brushstrokes, which can move like a ribbon of light
across the surface or cut a wide path that bleeds into a darkened
space; then Vivianne Nantel is your artist.
Vivianne, the person: is truly as beautiful on
the inside as she is on the outside. Her personality reaches out
with awe-inspiring bliss that cultivates the heart as well as
the mind.”
Chris Tuggle, Art dealer &
Owner of Blue Dolphin Gallery, (Now, called Seven Heaven)

I acquired a work of art from Vivianne
Nantel several years ago, and hung it on a wall facing my desk
in my office. It's the first thing I look at after finishing a
project on the computer, completing a meeting at my desk, or hanging
up after a frustrating phone call from a temperamental client.
The artwork always fills me with a sense of beauty, serenity and
peace. I can't imagine getting through a day without being inspired
by Vivi's art.

"I am blessed to have one of Vivianne’s paintings.
It holds a special place in the center of my home, and in my heart.
In her vivid expression I see a quiet power and clarity that moves
me. Her work glimpses the Divine...She shows me her soul…and
offers a glimpse of my own."
Anna Quigley from My Travels

Vivianne Nantel's work is magnificent, mesmerizing
and stimulating. It makes us reflect on all the infinite possibilities
within the self and life. I deeply treasure my two pieces, Ananda,
and Third Eye. Each time I look at them, they give me strength
and courage with my inner battle. Ms.Nantel is truly a rare artist.
She has a beautiful spirit, which is felt by her radiating and
powerful presence.

I own several of Vivianne Nantel's
works, and have placed them in different rooms in my home. Each
time I look at them, I feel blessed and uplifted by her artistic
brilliance. Her work adds beauty and a warm sparkle throughout
the entire house.

Vivianne Nantel's art embodies the ideal balance of the wordly
with the spiritual, the intellectual with the emotional, and the
immediate with the ephemeral. Her art is inspiring and insightful,
often eliciting a depth of emotion and discernment I have rarely
encountered. Her works are ahead of their time and will continue
to be sought after by collectors and others like myself.

My wife, Bharti, and I are very blessed to
have met Vivi. She is such an amazing and beautiful soul. We fell
in love with her artwork, especially Spring Blossom. You can imagine
how excited we were, when Vivi told us that she was going to produce
limited editions of her work in museum quality prints. We are
now the proud owners of Spring Blossom A/P. It radiates above
our fireplace and guests can't stop talking about how wonderful
it is. Thanks Vivi!

Vivianne Nantel, You are an amazing
artist. Your image of Spring Blossom speaks to me and I mediate
with her (Goddess) every morning and envision her when I am mediating
on my own. This female in this image feels like me. Her power
and serene peace captures it all. She is my goddess and my mentor.
This may sound over the top but I truly find strength in her.
I love art that moves me and I normally don't buy art just, because
I have been starting up businesses for the last few years, and
don't spend excess money unless to travel or if I personally know
the artist. However, I could not resist with your image. Thank
you for creating inspiring work.

“Vivi's
art is matched only by her personal beauty and sense of deep spirituality.
Both the art and the artist awaken joy and wonder in me and bring
a smile, no matter my mood. Thank you Vivi for your ability to
create on the canvas and on my heart.”
