The VIVA Story:
During their 30-year relationship, artists Robert Venosa and his wife, Martina Hoffmann, worked closely side-by-side and envisioned the creation of a private Museum- Gallery.
Robert and Martina named this private Museum space VIVA. Originally, it stood for 'Venosa Initiative for Visionary Art'. Besides featuring the paintings, and sculptures having remained in their private collection, it would also showcase the art of visiting international artists during special events.
From the beginning, VIVA was meant to be a gathering place for the many who appreciate art that reflects and honors a deeper experience of our human existence.
After Robert's passing in 2011, his widow, Martina Hoffmann, became the guardian of his collection and has continued exhibiting his work internationally. Today, she is actively working towards the manifestation of the VIVA Museum-Gallery, holding the vision of giving a wider audience permanent access to this large art collection. A distinct feature of VIVA is keeping Venosa's memory and artistic legacy alive.
What is VIVA?
✦ Vibrational Immersion in Visionary Art ✦
'VIVA' = “may (he/she) live!”- from the Latin 'Long Live'.
-
'Vibrational Immersion' is the process of utilizing manifestations, thoughts, and experiences, that are vibrationally similar to your desires, to create your reality.
-
Vibration: a person's emotional state, the atmosphere of a place, or the associations of an object, as communicated to and felt by others.
-
-
Immersion is a psychological state where the subject ceases to be aware of their physical state by being surrounded by a captivating total environment.
-
-
Visionary means: having the ability to perceive visions and to envision the future with imagination and wisdom.
-
-
“Visionary art: a non-temporal, transpersonal creative expression. Independent from specific schools of art it stands on its own and represents a steady current throughout art history. In essence, it is the oldest, universal creative-human-expression."
- Martina Hoffmann 2023
What is the VIVA Collection?
The private collection features the art of Robert Venosa, Martina Hoffmann, and Pascal Ferry.
3 Artists - One Vision
"Several years after my beloved husband, Robert passed away in 2011, I was guided into a new relationship with the French visionary painter, Pascal Ferry.
Soon, we discovered our shared passion for visionary art, visionary thinking, and the sacred in life and art. I feel blessed to have found a new life and creative partner who embraces the VIVA vision wholeheartedly. Amazingly, his art is also vibrationally compatible with Roberto's and mine.
So it became a natural choice to complete the original VIVA Collection by adding his creations to ours.”
Please meet the artists.
"Sharing these pages is exciting for us as we are now taking the next steps towards making the entire 3 artists-VIVA Collection available to the public at long last.
We look forward to connecting with allies and supporters to help us make this out-of-the-ordinary museum a reality."
