In this episode, Mona interviews the 2nd place winner of Women United ART PRIZE 2022, Veronika Lavey, an artist specialising in conceptual imagery and self-portraiture through fine art photography, with us today.
Veronika is recognised for her dark, thought-provoking self-portraits, which are exhibited and publicised to fulfil her mission of illuminating strength and resilience in hardship through shared emotional experiences.
Holding up a metaphorical mirror to show the darker places in life, Veronika reminds us to cultivate empathy for ourselves and others, because ultimately we are all navigating through the same deep-rooted stories of joy, pain, hope and sorrow.
Originally from Hungary, Veronika grew up in Los Angeles and Auckland, New Zealand before settling in the United Kingdom. She is now based in Herefordshire with her husband and two children.
Join them as they chat about Veronika's art practice, her background, inspiration and process.
