Viviana Puello on the Road: Capturing the Soul of the Artist in Real Time
ArtistOnTheGo is on the move as Viviana Puello documents living legends in their element—where silence, spirit, and creativity become legacy.
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 30, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- With her suitcase packed and her camera crew in tow, Viviana Puello is not just hitting the road—she's reigniting a movement. The founder of ArtTour International and the creative force behind ArtistOnTheGo has launched the next chapter of a film series that does more than document—it listens. And what it hears, across the winding backroads of Europe and the quiet studios of North America, is the heartbeat of a global art renaissance.
ArtistOnTheGo is not just a travel documentary. It is a meditative exploration of the artist's sacred environment—where clay meets breath, brush meets stillness, and inspiration lives quietly in the corners. What began as an initiative to spotlight artists in their authentic spaces has grown into something far more powerful: a living archive of creative legacy. Each episode feels like a pilgrimage, not to a monument, but to a soul.
This year's journey spans continents, beginning in New York and weaving through Santa Barbara, Atlanta, Saint Helena Island, and beyond. What makes the series resonate is its refusal to dramatize or commercialize the artistic process. Instead, Viviana and her partner Alan Grimandi, the series' cinematographer, frame each moment with reverence. There is no script, only presence.
'Every artist we visit is a teacher of silence,' Puello reflects. 'They don't just make art. They live in rhythm with something larger. That's what we're capturing—the unspoken.'
The visuals are cinematic yet restrained—sunlight falling across an unfinished canvas, wind rustling through an open studio window, a single sentence from an artist that lingers long after the scene fades. This isn't art television. It's art as life, life as devotion.
While many media outlets focus on the spectacle of creation, ArtistOnTheGo offers something rare: vulnerability without exposure, legacy without ego. These are not promo reels. They are visual letters to future generations, inviting us to witness art as a living relationship between soul and matter.
The 2025 season places special attention on themes of memory, cultural preservation, and artistic healing. One episode will feature artists engaging with ancestral techniques. Another travels to locations threatened by environmental change. Through it all, Puello serves not just as director, but as intuitive guide—allowing each artist to speak in their own language, surrounded by their chosen rituals.
It's no accident that ArtistOnTheGo emerges during a time when stillness is a form of resistance. As algorithms tighten and attention fragments, the series urges a return to the long gaze, the quiet process, the breath before the mark. In doing so, it reclaims something sacred: the artist's right to simply be.
Puello's work, broadcast through Vivid Arts TV and celebrated in ArtTour International Magazine, offers an alternative to the art world's transactional churn. 'We're not looking for what's trending,' she says. 'We're listening for what's eternal.'
In every visit, from the red deserts of New Mexico to the rain-slick streets of Europe, a message becomes clear: creativity is not performance. It's prayer.
And so, the journey continues.

Is this Hollywood's moment of AI reckoning?
For some in Hollywood, as Silicon Valley's AI models have become impossible to ignore, it's better to have a seat at the table as these new technologies emerge, rather than sitting back and letting the tech titans take full control. This, at least, is the impetus behind Asteria, the generative AI studio cofounded by the filmmaking couple of Bryn Mooser and Natasha Lyonne, who promote their company as using 'ethical' AI. Lyonne has justified her embrace of the technology by explaining: 'It's better to get your hands dirty than pretend it's not happening.' The company has faced some backlash, both because Lyonne (tastelessly, her detractors would argue) claimed the late David Lynch had endorsed AI, and because its flagship model is proprietary—meaning we have no way to verify that it is indeed trained only on licensed material (as Lyonne and co. say it is). Meanwhile, James Cameron is on Stability AI's board, and has expressed his hope for using AI to make blockbuster filmmaking cheaper. Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions has partnered with Meta for AI testing and chatbots. Lionsgate signed a deal with Runway, an AI startup valued at $3 billion, to let the company train its model on the studio's 20,000+ films and TV series; Runway also signed a deal with AMC. This embrace of AI, though, puts the James Camerons and Natasha Lyonnes of the world at odds with industry peers who are opting to push back on these would-be robot overlords before they take over.

Disney's stock has bagged an upgrade from Jeffries — here's why
Disney (DIS) is cruising for a higher stock price this summer, according to Jefferies analyst James Heaney. Heaney lifted his rating on Disney to Buy from Hold on Monday. His new price target of $144 assumes 18% upside ahead from the entertainment giant's current level of $124.84 per share. Yahoo Finance data shows Heaney is now one of the most bullish on the Street with respect to Disney. "We upgrade Disney to Buy for four primary reasons: 1) Now see limited risk of a second half parks slowdown from Epic Universe/Macro [economy]; 2) More positive on FY26 cruise [business] upside, Jefferies estimates $1 billion plus revenue uplift; 3) Continued direct-to-consumer margin expansion (0% FY24 to 13% plus by FY28 estimate); 4) View next six months content and sports slate favorably, including ESPN direct-to-consumer launch, Zootopia 2 and Avatar 3," Heaney wrote. Disney shares rose 2% in premarket trading on Monday. The stock is up 10% year to date, compared with a 4% advance for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI). "Disney has failed to grow operating income in FY16-FY24, but we believe this dynamic is set to change," Heaney added. His more bullish stance on Disney comes despite several headwinds facing the media giant. First, the media industry itself continues to face upheaval. Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) said this month it will split up amid a shift to streaming that has financially hammered its legacy TV assets. The company joins rival Comcast (CMCSA) in separating TV operations from streaming assets. Meanwhile, Paramount (PARA) is still trying to close its merger deal with Skydance. Disney has repeatedly said it has no desire to spin off its TV networks, such as ABC, despite the industry challenges that have weighed on sales and profits. "I think it's harder [to split up] than most people realize. And the interesting thing is, for the past five to 10 years, we have been putting them together — linear TV content creates the streaming content. Now all of that has changed," former BET CEO and current Warner Bros. Discovery board member Debra Lee told Yahoo Finance earlier in June. Meantime, Disney is still smack in the middle of appointing a CEO to succeed Bob Iger. There are reportedly four internal candidates being considered for the coveted position, which Iger held from 2005 to 2020 before returning in November 2022. Those four are entertainment division co-chiefs Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, parks division head Josh D'Amaro, and ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro. Walden and D'Amaro are rumored to be top contenders. The search process must be executed flawlessly, following a high-profile bungling last time, when former CEO Bob Chapek was fired in favor of bringing back Iger. Chapek's brusque management style famously clashed with the many creatives who keep the magic inside of Disney's content and theme parks. A CEO decision is widely expected by year end. "I think the biggest skillset you have to have is a gift of a real strategic business sense, because there's a bunch of assets at Disney that are globally deployed. It's multifaceted, from theme parks to consumer products to movies to film to TV to Disney+ to Hulu to ESPN. You got to manage a lot, and then you have to also decide, what assets do we keep? What assets do we add?" Candle Media CEO and former top Disney exex Kevin Mayer said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid podcast (watch above).

Power, fame and fallout: Jurors to decide Diddy's fate as verdict looms in explosive trial
Jurors will begin deliberating Sean 'Diddy' Combs' fate as he faces five federal charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, which could lead to a life sentence if convicted. Prosecutors claim Combs abused unchecked power, while the defence argues he is a self-made entrepreneur involved in consensual yet complicated relationships. Key evidence includes witness testimonies and claims of emotional manipulation, with jurors tasked to reach a unanimous verdict on each count. Jurors on Monday will begin deliberating whether Sean 'Diddy' Combs parlayed his celebrity, wealth and business empire into a decades-long criminal ring that saw him force women into drug-fuelled sexual performances with escorts. The dozen New Yorkers tasked with deciding the music mogul's future will begin poring over thousands of phone, financial and other records along with the stories of 34 people who testified against him over seven painstaking, and at times excruciating, weeks. Combs, 55, faces upwards of life in prison if convicted on five federal charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution. The producer and entrepreneur, once one of the most powerful people in the music industry, denies the charges. On Friday, his lawyer vied to skewer the credibility of his accusers - namely two women he dated for years - saying they were out for money while rejecting any notion he led a criminal ring. But in their final argument, prosecutors tore into the defence, saying Combs' team had 'contorted the facts endlessly.' Prosecutor Maurene Comey told jurors that by the time Combs had committed his clearest-cut offences, 'he was so far past the line he couldn't even see it.' 'In his mind, he was untouchable,' she told the court. 'The defendant never thought that the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done to them.' 'That ends in this courtroom,' she said. 'The defendant is not a god.' Defence attorney Marc Agnifilo scoffed at the picture painted by prosecutors of a violent, domineering man who fostered 'a climate of fear.' Combs is a 'self-made, successful Black entrepreneur' who had romantic relationships that were 'complicated' but consensual, Agnifilo said. Manipulation The defence has conceded that Combs at times beat his partners - but insists the domestic violence does not amount to the sex trafficking or racketeering he's charged with. Key to the prosecution's case were witnesses Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane, both of whom described abuse, threats and coercive sex in wrenching detail. In their closing arguments, the defence dissected their accounts and, at times, even mocked them, insisting the women were adults making the best choices for them. Speaking for the government on Friday, prosecutor Comey snapped back at that notion, saying the women were 'manipulated' into 'brazen' acts of sex trafficking. Ventura and Jane both said they experienced emotional manipulation and threats, which made them feel obliged to meet Combs' sexual demands. Throughout the trial, jurors were shown voluminous phone records, including messages from both women that Agnifilo argued implied consent. But prosecutors said those messages do not paint the whole picture and referenced testimony from a forensic psychologist who explained to jurors how victims become ensnared by abusers. Central to their case is the claim that Combs led a criminal enterprise of senior employees who 'existed to serve his needs' and enforced his power with offences including forced labour, kidnapping, bribery, witness tampering and arson. But Agnifilo underscored that none of those individuals testified against Combs, nor were they named as co-conspirators. Many witnesses were given immunity orders so they could speak without fear of incriminating themselves. To convict Combs on racketeering, jurors must find that prosecutors showed beyond reasonable doubt that he agreed with people within his organisation to commit at least two of the eight crimes forming the racketeering charge. On Monday, Judge Arun Subramanian will explain to them how to apply the law to the evidence. Then, the eight men and four women will begin deliberating. They must reach a unanimous decision, reaching either a guilty or not guilty verdict on each count.
