About the Artist

Veronica Emery is an Argentine mixed media artist based in Hong Kong who predominantly employs collage in her art making. Having initially pursued a career in law, with a focus on commercial and criminal law, Veronica ventured into the corporate world after attending business school. Her path eventually led her to embrace the field of art, where she immersed herself in design, exploring the multiple possibilities offered by materials.

Fascinated by the world of appearances and how design can simultaneously embody and unveil hidden fantasies, Veronica began to experiment with existing images, resulting in the creation of complex mise-en-abyme compositions.

Inspired by the writer Jorge Luis Borges, as well as other Latin American magical realist authors, Veronica's practice revolves around the subjective perception of reality. Her pieces intend to draw the viewer in and challenge his initial perceptions. Through material manipulation, she crafts elaborate puzzle-like artworks, where various elements and printed matters intertwine to form multilayered pieces. Through this approach, Veronica intends to beguile the viewer, blurring the distinction between initial appearances and reality.
