Born in Romania, Veronica currently resides in Thailand.
Having pursued fine arts from an early age, she trained and worked as an architect in Bucharest and Paris. Later, she co-founded Kaptura de Aer design studio and, in the following years, participated in national and international design events and exhibition.
Her photography journey began in 2020 in the peculiar context of a global lockdown and a temporarily isolated tropical island. This uncommon, idyllic setting facilitated a purging of social conditioning, leading to a challenging process of self-deconstruction which unveiled deeper authenticity and vulnerability.
Her work spans a wide territory where she intertwines her deep intimacy with nature with her passion for rewilding the self, the body, and the built environment. Her art unravels the ancient common ground that predates civilizations: the felt understanding that the body is “an open circuit that completes itself only in things, in others, in the encompassing earth” (David Abram). Through various mediums—such as photography, poetry, ecosomatic arts, installation design, and painting—Veronica explores the mysticism of matter and dwelling, addressing the spiritual and philosophical meanings associated with the concepts of home, habitat, and belonging.
Grounded and Skyed is her current research project, bridging ecosomatics and architecture.
