Vivien Capper

Hello. My name’s Vivien and I’m from the beautiful county of Kent, England though currently living and working near Rome in delightful Italy with its exciting, lively way of life and vibrant colours and designs .

I started out as an artist developing Indian ink artwork of a variety of subjects especially figurative artwork and abstract floral designs, then progressed into creative photography and digital artistry thanks to Sebastian Michael’s courses at ‘Photoshop Artistry’ and the advanced courses ‘Awake’ & ‘Kaizen’. My inspiration is drawn from my love of nature, figurative artwork and Italian design and I love using many textures, patterns and colours.

This month I’ve again tried doing something a bit different in my artwork and have created variation on two pieces applying different colour tones.

The advent of NFT artwork on multiple platforms using various types of cypto currency is an exciting new platform for artists to promote their work and offer images with commercial liecences without the need to rely on stock image sites. It also enabes an artist to explore the options of offering a certificate of authenticty created from an NFT, thus providing a digital method to confirm proof of ownership of artwork.

There are a number of high profile platforms available, some require nomination from other artists, some require an application process. All require the use of a wallet which authenticates the artist or buyers identity, stores the purchased NFTs and allows them to buy cyrpto currency. In all cases to buy or sell an NFT you will need a wallet attached either to an app or a browser. There is simply thousands of pieces of artwork available to buy, but the main thing to bear in mind is read the sales post and ensure you are aware of what you are buying and any associated cost or usage rights.
