On Art LLC is an award-winning interdisciplinary studio founded by filmmaker and visual artist Viviane Silvera. Based in New York City, our work explores the intersection of art, memory, neuroscience, and healing—through paintings in motion, immersive media, and public programming that invites emotional and intellectual transformation. At On Art, we believe in the power of visual storytelling to surface what is unseen, reframe what is remembered, and imagine what is possible.
At On Art LLC, every frame is a painting. Founded by filmmaker and visual artist Viviane Silvera, we specialize in hand-painted films—tens of thousands of sequential paintings animated into motion. By slowing cinema down to its most essential gesture, we let audiences feel memory in motion.
We believe moving images should do more than entertain—they should bridge art, science, and human experience.
In a film industry that prizes speed and replication, we go the other way: toward intimacy, depth, and craft. Every frame is painted by hand. Every story is rooted in research and lived experience. And our films don’t just play on PBS or in museums—they’re used by therapists, educators, and scientists as tools for dialogue.
