About Veronika Demenko
Biography
My name is Veronika Demenko and I'm a full-time artist based in Odesa, Ukraine.
I use my unique style in my artworks. I like to combine different materials and experiment with abstract compositions. It helps me in the work that I was educated in the basics of composition and colors. I use abstract, natural, and surreal motifs in my paintings. I love to find inspiration in natural geometric shapes and textures, exotic plants and animals, and imaginary worlds from books and films.
I often paint intuitively and by impression, without any sketch or clear idea. The process of painting is a kind of meditation for me and it gives me a sense of spiritual freedom. In general, my art is a whole universe of patterns, details, textures, characters, and shades of colors. Each picture is like a puzzle in the endless mosaic of this world, and many visual and semantic motives move from early paintings to the latest pieces of art.
Also, I studied at South Ukrainian Pedagogical University an "Art and Craft" specialization, and gained a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts in 2011. My artworks are found in many private collections around the world.
By now I have participated in several exhibitions in Ukraine: - 2020 - joint exhibition "Colorful Dreams" in private gallery-apartment “Spiegel”, Odesa, Ukraine - 2016 - joint exhibition “Soul Melody” at “Creation” gallery, Odesa, Ukraine - 2013 - joint exhibition “Health Opening Day" at Children's Rehabilitation Center's Art Gallery, Odesa, Ukraine
