ABOUT VIVEKA HEWMAN

Viveka is primarily a self taught Painter who has also studied classical painting techniques at the Florence Academy of Art, during Summer 2015 after which she took up an apprenticeship in 2018, under the internationally renowned Norwegian Painter, Odd Nerdrum.

She currently works from her home studio in Colombo.
