About Us
Saviana Arts is a collaboration between Nuyorican* artists Sara Morales (The Bronx) and Vivian Lipman-Denis (Loisaida**).
We began collaborating artistically in 2009; participating in weekly art sessions both indoors and en plein air. We draw our inspiration from interactions with our community, attending cultural events, and observing everyday moments on the streets of our beloved New York City.
Using oil on canvas media, we try to depict the unadorned yet intricate events that make up the robust New York experience paying particular interest to the culturally rich Nuyorican community.
On occasion, we also capture vignettes of our island heritage from our collective memories and commit them to canvas.
Our goal is to expose, as well as, educate others to our unique yet prodigious community through our art.

Absolutely love it! Anticipacion makes me feel like I am looking at my grandmother’s kitchen table before she makes pasteles.
Bronx Vintage
The vibrant colors here are beautiful! Aire Libre reminds me of my first trips to the mountains of Puerto Rico, visiting my parents’ hometown of Orocovis.

The print of this amazing painting is gorgeous! Families immediately connect with La Marqueta – because it’s a familiar family pastime.
