Lucid Worlds Veronika Katri
Painting from her own archive of memory, imagination and from her direct surroundings, Lucid Worlds flows between fiction and reality. Using symbolic and narrative elements in her work Katri creates her own storytelling through mythology, memories of her childhood in Santorini and her recent experience of the Icelandic landscape. Moving to Iceland in 2020, Veronika was deeply moved by the landscape and echoes it in her work. These elements merge throughout her work, narrating the artist´s own personal and poetic synthesis of Lucid Worlds.
Playing with the relationship between the figure, landscape and abstraction are binding themes within the work. This amalgamation conjures the memory of specific experiences and creates an imaginary landscape, in which she lives in real time. Combined with Katri´s personal symbolism, this alchemy touches on a surrealism and symbolic style.
Lucid Worlds invites the viewer to a journey to find their own narrative of the work.
This is Veronika´s first solo exhibition in her hometown and presents her work that was created in Iceland.
