Veronica Botticelli

1979

Italy, Rome

Graduated at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.

Born in Rome in 1979, Veronica Botticelli entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and revealed herself in her first group exhibition in 2004. Two years later, she won the first prize in the national visual arts competition organised by ANMII and INAIL, at the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. Her work is now recognized internationally, as she has exhibited in New York, Germany, London, Switzerland, and most recently in Paris. Botticelli works mainly on large-format canvases, which are complemented by smaller works on paper. Her deliberately silent, often untitled canvases reveal a part of her soul residing in colour. She integrates collages, voluntarily flattening the volume, of objects referring to the 50s and 60s in a resolutely modern context.
