On Art LLC is an interdisciplinary studio founded by award-winning 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. 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.
Paintings in Motion
Our signature medium is paintings in motion—a technique in which hundreds of paintings are animated frame by frame to form moving image works. The result is not just film, but a visceral experience of thought, memory, and time dissolving and reassembling before the viewer's eyes.
Installations & Exhibitions
We collaborate with museums, universities, and public institutions to bring our projects to life through:
Multi-channel installations
Large-scale projection mapping
Immersive screenings with live panel discussions
Solo and group exhibitions
Our work has been exhibited at Art Basel Miami, Berlin Art Week, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Edward Hopper House and Study Center, among others.
Media & Engagement Projects
In addition to film and art, On Art develops innovative public engagement tools, including:
Educational toolkits and guides for classroom and therapeutic use
Webinar series on art, trauma, wellness and neuroscience
We are committed to building bridges—between disciplines, institutions, and people—by reimagining how art can transform memory into meaning. 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, wellness coaches and scientists as tools for dialogue.
