Documenta Kassel News

I have spent most of my life making art in some form or other. I was Raised in beautiful Northern California and grew up with a tremendous love of the natural world. The forms found in the organic world have played a large part in the vocabulary of my recent sculpture.

Artist Statement

My sculptures are based on the forms of plants, bones, insects, seed pods, musical instruments and machine parts. I am interested in creating works that illustrate a symbiotic relationship between the natural and the machine world. I think of these creations as Biometamorphs, fossil records of a living, transformative change.

Artist’s Profile

A self taught artist,and inspired mostly by music, from Classical, Incidental to Jazz, Sonya veronica’s work expresses the intertwined and impromptu rhythm within. Each composition explores stillness and movement just as notes & rests in music.

�The Expressionist paintings exhibit strength in the use of color and form to express mood, milieu and emotion. All of the paintings are resolute in style and convey poignancy through a unique and innovative perspective; a perspective so rich as to elevate the work to a realm of pure aesthetic lyricism.

�I feel that the paintings will resonate well in New York and with our international audience.�
