Lack of Enthusiasm Painting

„Visual artist Vivien Kabar was born in 1981 to a Hungarian mother and a Middle Eastern father. Kabar is best known for her untiring advocacy for the elimination of violence against women and children and in 2014 was recipient of the “Art against Violence” Award from the Ministry of the Interior and the Criminal Investigation Department of Austria. As a young girl, Vivien Kabar met her later muse and mentor, artist Ilia De Riska, with whom she had an extremely creative friendship and collaboration until his untimely death. One of her most touching works "Love and Death", is a dedication to their extraordinary friendship and was the centrepiece of an exhibition in April 2017 at the International Theatre Institute of UNESCO Centrum Austria. The artist lives and works in Vienna, and is represented by the Viennese State Gallery for post-war and contemporary art, the "kleine galerie". Since 2016, Kabar is an Art Consultant to UNESCO Club Vienna — Member of the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations, NGO in formal associate (ASC) relations with UNESCO and in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).“ Fran Eve Wright Secretary General, EFUCA, Austrian Federation COLLECTIONS HDI Versicherung AG / HDI Global Insurance Company - Vienna, Austria The House of the European Union - Vienna, Austria Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art - Las Vegas, USA Basilica Papale Santa Maria Maggiore - Rome, Italy Centre for High Defence Studies - CASD - Rome, Italy PRIZES "Art Against Violence" 2014.- Awarded by the Interior Ministry and the Criminal Investigation Department of Austria "Silver Plaque" 2011. - Awarded by the Robert Schuman Institute and the European Parlament “Artis Laudabilis” diploma and prize, 2008. – Awarded by the Europa Authentica Cultural Organization
