About Vivia Art

Living art out there. Your art alive at home.

Vivia Art is one passport for two things. Go and stand in front of curated murals, gallery originals and sculpture around town, and they unlock in your camera. Then point Make Your Art Alive at a painting, a family photo or your tattoo, and watch it move. The real artwork is never touched — the motion lives only in the camera. Free for artists and muralists, always.

The model

Two ways to have living art.

One is about the art already in the world. The other is about the art you already own. The same passport, the same camera, the same care.

Out & about

Explore it, collect it, keep it.

Curated murals, gallery originals and sculpture, featured by our studio and placed around town. Open the map, go stand in front of the work, tap once and it moves. Every scan lands in your free Art Passport.

Just for fun

Make your own come alive.

A painting on your wall, a family photo, a pet, a kid's drawing, your tattoo. Snap it, the Brain reads the artwork, and you get a one-of-a-kind animation in minutes. Save the ones you love to your Passport scrapbook and revisit them as living memories.

  • First 3 creations free, no card
  • Your full picture stays uncropped
  • Artists and muralists never pay

Who it's for

One platform, six ways in.

Make your art alive

What you can bring to life

Your art, your pictures, even your tattoo. Snap it, only the subject moves, and it saves to your Passport scrapbook as a memory you can always replay.

How a piece comes alive

The AI does the heavy lifting in minutes. The artist keeps the final say.

01

Send the piece

Artists, galleries and muralists upload a photo of the work. No video skills needed.

02

The Brain reads it

Our AI finds the edges of the painting, wall or sculpture and builds what a phone needs to recognise it.

03

A 1 of 1 animation

We direct motion that stays true to the original — faces, signatures and text are protected.

04

You approve it

Nothing goes live until the artist or gallery says yes.

05

Visitors scan and collect

One tap and the art moves in the camera, then saves to the visitor's free Art Passport.

06

Real numbers

See scans, places and opted-in fans — galleries and sponsors get their own dashboards.

How your own art comes alive

Self-serve, in minutes, from your phone. No studio visit, no video skills.

01

Point your camera

Open Make Your Art Alive in the browser — nothing to install, no account needed for your first look.

02

The Brain finds the artwork

It reads the edges of the painting, photo or tattoo and keeps your full picture, uncropped.

03

One of one animation

Only the subject moves — the koi swims, the family smiles, the light shifts. Never a template.

04

Save it to your scrapbook

Keep the memory in your Art Passport scrapbook, replay it whenever, download it, share it.

Plans, in plain words

Artists never pay. Everything else is month to month.

For your own art at home, start free and upgrade only if you want more. Every paid plan is monthly, cancels any time, and keeps everything you have already made.

Our promise

What we protect

  • The original stays untouched

    Motion lives only in the camera. No mural, canvas or sculpture is ever painted over, reprinted or replaced.

  • Artists and muralists never pay

    No fees, no card, ever. Galleries and local sponsors are the ones who keep Vivia Art running.

  • The artist has the final say

    Artists keep every right to their work. A piece only goes live once the artist or gallery has approved its animation.

  • Honest sponsor credit

    Sponsors appear as "Art animation sponsored by" a business. They support the animation, never buy the artwork or speak for the artist.

  • Your pictures stay yours

    Make Your Art Alive keeps your full photo, uncropped. Your creations and your scrapbook are private until you share them.

  • Nothing leaves your phone

    Camera frames used to recognise art are processed on the device and never uploaded.

  • No copying living artists

    Every animation follows the work in front of it. We never imitate another living artist's style.
