Vivien Carolyn Reinert is a mixed-media artist working with colour, texture, pattern and material to explore mood, perception and emotional atmosphere. Her practice is driven by a deep sensitivity to composition - how balance, ratio and nuance shape the way an image, object or space is perceived.

Upon graduating from Central Saint Martins (BA Hons Textiles, 2019) and the Royal College of Art (MA Textiles, 2021), she worked for design houses such as Liberty and Conran and Partners before focusing on her own practice.

Since 2024 she has been working as an artist full-time exploring the intersection of craft and art in her London-based studio.

Her practice spans over a range of materials and techniques and explores the often underestimated power of colour and visual tone: how subtle shifts in palette, texture or form can transform meaning, identity and emotional impact. Much of her work centres on building cohesive visual worlds - refining the relationship between concept and aesthetic until a clear, immersive mood emerges. Thematically, her work she dissects the significance and meaning of public spaces - non-places - and how the way people behave in these settings and interact with one another spark larger conversations around hyper-connectivity in the virtual world and social disconnect in the physical world.

Mediating on the way we move through these public spaces absentmindedly, she seeks to draw awareness to the beauty of slowing-down the ever-accelerating pace of change and taking in the intricate tapestry and the simplest encounters. Her works aim to re-enchant people with the overlooked details in the mundane and to reconnect with the present.

All of her varied artworks serve as a record of these findings and fascinations with the everyday. They are an exploration of her unique experience, an investigation overlapping the real with the imagined.

Alongside her studio practice, Vivien collaborates with brands and creative teams to refine colour, mood, and visual tone - helping visual identities and creative projects feel more emotionally precise, nuanced, and cohesive, while maintaining restraint and clarity.

Vivien has exhibited as part of London Design Week and London Craft Week and most recently has been commissioned by Cunard to create a series of artworks and designs, which are currently being displayed on the newest ship of the fleet, Queen Anne.
