Press & features
A press-ready window into a creative world shaped by stillness, presence, and emotional resonance.
You’re in the right place if you’re seeking a written interview, an emotionally intelligent collaboration, or a meaningful feature on an artist who values presence over performance.
I’m Viki Thorbjorn, an abstract artist and author creating emotionally resonant work that shifts both the energy of a space and the emotional state of those who inhabit it.
While I do not take part in traditional luxury circuits or performative press rounds, I welcome thoughtful conversations and intentional visibility. If the energy is right, I respond with clarity, depth, and care.
This page is here for curators, editors, writers, producers, and collaborators who understand the value of emotion, texture, and subtlety in art and storytelling.
Latest work
Stillness Is a Weapon (2025)
A written body of work on creative recovery, emotional survival, and the quiet power that doesn’t perform.
It arrived unplanned, in the space that followed breaking, and became both witness and offering.
Also available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and hardcover.
Early praise
“Your book is so exquisitely written and spoke to me in ways even I didn’t understand I needed.” — Janye Hardy – author & creative
“A beautiful meditation on the true healing power of creativity” — Amy Britton – journalist
“Viki’s words are a mirror for every creative who’s ever had to fight to be heard. This book is not just about art—it’s about reclaiming power, healing from silence, and choosing courage over comfort. As someone who’s walked the path of reinvention and risk, there is wisdom in these pages.” — Toyosi Olowe- artist & entrepreneur
“Truly inspirational, emotive and heartwarming read, every page was soul inspiring and evoked a sense of depth and truth within the words, that resonated with me deeply” — Maria Badshamiah – glass & fine artist

“Art should never be an afterthought. It should be part of the architecture of the space itself.” — Interior Designer Magazine
This piece reframes art as a design material, not decoration. It challenges designers to choose art that moves, not matches. The most powerful rooms don’t look complete. They feel it. Art shouldn’t finish a space. It should complicate it, beautifully.

“Each of Viki’s pieces offers a window into emotion—delicate yet powerful.” — Nook & Find
This piece explored the emotional foundations of my practice, the quiet power of abstraction, and how colour and texture can transform not just spaces, but the nervous system of those who live within them.

Creative philosophy
I create art to hold what words cannot.
I write to explore what stillness makes visible.
Each piece is a vessel for presence, quiet intensity, and emotional resonance. My work isn’t made for display. It’s made to be lived with.
Collectors don’t come for style. They come for the shift they feel when a piece enters the room.
This is for those no longer moved by surface. It belongs in spaces where emotion is understood as intelligence.
Signature offerings
Collector’s Vault
Open and limited-edition canvas prints ranging from £1,500 to £8,000. Museum-quality materials. Offered in selected sizes for emotionally attuned spaces.
Capsule Commission
It's a a private A2 canvas print, created from an original work made in response to your emotional reflection. No edits, no brief, no performance, just one considered exchange, and a finished piece delivered with clarity.
Fragments from the Writing Room
Three unreleased canvas artefacts painted during the writing of Stillness Is a Weapon. Available in A3 format. Rare, private, and emotionally charged.
Sit Happens
A 12-week corporate wellbeing program built around movement, nervous-system recalibration, and real-world sustainability. Designed for teams who carry too much tension, too much sitting, and too much performance pressure. It’s not fitness. It’s not wellness theatre. It’s structured relief.
Creative collaborations
I collaborate with brands and retailers who understand that art shapes the feeling of a space. When the production is thoughtful and the design process is grounded in intention rather than trend, I am open to working at scale with companies whose collections genuinely value atmosphere, emotion, and quiet detail.
Any licensing or partnership has to protect the integrity of the work and make sense for the kind of environments the art belongs to. I’m not interested in fast, disposable output or anything that flattens the meaning behind the pieces, but I am open to creating work for premium homeware and interior brands when the alignment feels clear and the production holds the same level of care that I put into the paintings themselves.
If your project or collection is built around intention, depth, and emotional intelligence, I’m open to the conversation.

Topics I’m often asked to write about
Stillness as a form of power: what luxury spaces are truly designed to hold
The emotional role of art in nervous system regulation
Legacy without noise: how presence creates enduring impact
Reconnecting with the self through colour, abstraction, and emotional resonance
Art as a vessel for memory, not attention
How stillness became the most radical creative choice I’ve made
The intersection of healing, space, and aesthetic intelligence
What happens when you stop creating for performance and start creating for peace
- The emotional cost of sitting, stillness fatigue, and what true nervous-system-first movement can restore
If one of these reflects the depth you’re building, or if your vision carries its own thread, I welcome the conversation.
Let’s create something meaningful, ot just marketable.
My Creative Journey
A life shaped by colour, energy, and emotional resonance.
I’ve been painting and drawing since childhood. Back then, art was a language before I had words.
It helped me process what I could not explain.
Over time I explored portraits, murals, illustration, and competitions. I exhibited, I sold, I studied.
But it wasn’t until 2024 that I made a decision to give everything to this practice, without apology, without splitting my focus.
Since then, I have stopped creating for applause.
I paint for resonance. For release. For the quiet shift that happens when someone sees a piece and recognises themselves in it.
I write for the same reason.
What you'll find here
I offer private commissions, emotional collaborations, and ultra-limited editions and museum-grade canvas prints made for designers and visionaries.
Everything I create is made to be felt. It is for spaces with soul.
