## Artist Statement

Walt Viviers is a South African fine artist and lifelong creative working in acrylic and mixed media. His practice explores the tension between the poetry and music of the artwork: images that read with clarity and confidence from a distance, yet reveal bold, expressive brushstrokes and an unmistakable personal touch up close.

Drawing on subjects that range from the iconic to the unexpected, he bridges the worlds of fine art and popular culture, rendered with energy, intention, and a distinctly South African perspective.

For Viviers, making art is therapy: a way of expressing yourself to find yourself. Faith, family, and creativity sit at the core of everything he makes. His works are held in private collections internationally.
