Wayne Vivier is an award-winning artist based in Pretoria, South Africa. Born in 1976 in Welkom and raised in Pretoria, he initially pursued a career in technology, obtaining a B.Sc. in Computer Science from UNISA and working as a software developer in Johannesburg for six years. In 2005, he returned to Pretoria to follow his passion for art, completing a Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Fine Arts at Tshwane University of Technology in 2011.

Since then, Vivier has held ten solo and two-person exhibitions and participated in numerous curated shows and national competitions, including the Sasol New Signatures, ABSA L’Atelier, Thami Mnyele, and State of the Art Gallery Award exhibitions. In 2016, he was awarded runner-up in the 'For the Love of Art' competition hosted by Longstreet Art Lovers 1932 Gallery.

His work forms part of various public, private, and corporate collections and has attracted interest on the secondary market, with sales at auction reflecting strong returns on investment.

Wayne Vivier’s practice explores the intersections of the spiritual, the psychological, and the aesthetic, often weaving personal experience with broader cultural commentary in a visual language that is both raw and contemplative. He is also included in the artist lists of Longstreet Art Lovers 1932 and The Viewing Room galleries.
