Meet Vivian Chintua | Visual Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Vivian Chintua and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vivian, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My decision to embark on an art business journey, stems from a profound passion for art and a belief that art embodies the essence of life itself. the unbreakable bond that my sisters and I share. Growing up as one of four girls in a close-knit family, I experienced firsthand the power and resilience of sisterly love. Despite facing numerous challenges as girls in a world that often celebrates masculinity, we always had each other’s backs. . I was actuated to gear up avenues where I could express my emotions. Then i decided to cultivate in my talent. Behind my art work is a deep expression of emotions, feelings and experiences while growing up. As years goes on, I further channelled down my art work to a platform where one can showcase their artistic creations, engage with art enthusiasts, and bring a piece of the creative process into the lives of others. As one would say, starting up any business especially (an art business) would require a strategic approach that will combine both the artistic vision with entrepreneurial skills. The artistic style, medium, and themes, are among the unique selling points in creating a consistent brand identity that will resonates with my ideal audience.

My paintings explore the many facets of sisterhood and the strength that comes from it. Not neglecting the huge role my parent played in sealing this sisterly bond in us.
The pivotal factor contributing to my success in establishing my art so far, lies in the unwavering love, support and encouragement from my family and friends.Their encouragement in many ways has propelled me towards achieving most difficult goals I have faced in this business. Their familial bonds and love created a nurturing environment to work on. My parents in many ways contributed in fostering stable foundation and also a sense of security which has allowed me to explore my artistic vision without fear of failure.The emotional backing from family members has in numerous ways instill confidence, to take creative risks that might otherwise seem daunting.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well, I haven’t explored my city much, but I would make sure to cook some great meals at home and spend a lot of time catching up and sharing ideas. Since it’s the weekend, we might also attend church and ask around for recommendations on cool places to visit.
