Creative expression flows through Viviane Lawson's veins. She was born in Hamburg, Germany, where she still lives. Her mother was a successful illustrator and her grandfather a painter, which meant that even as a small child she was always exposed to color and art in various forms. She was always able to immerse herself in her own creative world when painting and drawing and never lost the urge to want to create something. After completing an advanced art course at school and painting privately, her path initially led her to a degree in business law, a master's degree in information law and jobs as a lawyer. During the 2020 pandemic, however, she found her way back to her passion for art. Since then, art has once again become an integral part of her everyday life. In 2021, Lawson took part in an art competition on the subject of colonialism in Germany, which was curated by the Blind Spots in the Sun initiative and curator Henrik Langsdorf. She won 2nd place, so that her work, alongside the other winning works, could be seen on Strör posters in Kassel city center, as well as at the vernissage and finnisage. In September 2022 she took part in a group exhibition at the Hamburg Jupiter. In 2024 she took part in the group exhibition “Aura” of the Holy Art Gallery in London and New York and in the exhibition of the Cipriarte Gallery Venezia at the Biennale d’arte Venezia. In August 2024 she’ll be also represented at the Pop Up Gallery in Hamburg.
