Vivi Cuevas

Born in Santiago de Chile 1972. I am a Chilean self-taught artist currently living in the UK.Vivi Cuevas' oil- painted clay sculptures are born from a spontaneous and intuitive need to express herself. She works in series or families of sculptures that grow from an unplanned beginning and celebrate the joyful abandon of creativity. The experience of motherhood, yoga, spirituality, environmental awareness, mixed with her love of colour, the human form, a sense of fun and playfulness, create figures that bring pertinent and contemporary messages in an attractive and enjoyable way. The sculptures, which are infused with hip sweetness and cheeky playfulness, focus on the positive side of human nature and tickle our inner child.
