Summer is here!
I've been working mostly in Gouache lately and smaller format, so in the next little while I'll be putting up some of my Gouache works on paper that are also more affordable.
Hope you enjoy strolling through my shop!
_____________________________________________________________________________
I’m a painter born in Sarajevo, I lived most of my life in Vancouver, Canada and have settled in Barcelona five years ago. I paint mostly in oil on wood panels or stretched canvas, and I sketch mostly in Gouache as it allows me to use colour in much the same way while it is easy to take anywhere.
I’ve been drawing and painting since I can remember. I always knew this was what I was meant to be doing. I drew my way into friendships, kids publications, art camps when I was young, then I decided to go to Art school. I graduated from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada. I also attended a Costuming for Film and Theatre program which allowed me to work in Film for about 10 years. I tried exploring different creative outlets while making a living. Finally in 2016 I moved to Barcelona where I can dedicate my time to painting, sketching and drawing.
I paint what I see around me. Right now, the city draws me with its hidden scenes, often neglected, yet beautiful. I find that we often look without seeing and our attention span is getting shorter as we get used to be fed quick images from social media. Through my painting I try to bring these hidden scenes as images into the foreground and show off their significance, their beauty.

5 out of 5 starsThe painting is even more rich and visually pleasing in-person. I'm thrilled with the composition, color and quality. It made it to the US quickly, as well.

5 out of 5 starsVibrant compositions that capture the vertical and horizontal, colourful metropolis of Barcelona. Framed fleeting moments of city denizens on balconies or rooftops. An appeal to the voyeur in us all, or to our capacity to connect with urban solitude. Veronika's art is both exciting and pensive, evoking Edward Hopper and Jeffrey Smart. I love gifting her prints to others; they never fail to please! Recommended 100% Thank you Veronika!

5 out of 5 starsVeronika is an excellent seller. Her paintings are beautiful and she uses excellent quality paper for her prints, so they almost look like original paintings. Also, she replies to messages really quickly and is very helpful, and the items arrived very quickly as she upgraded delivery to premium to ensure there were no delays. I would definitely order from her again, and will try to post some photos once the prints have been framed.

5 out of 5 starsThe painting was packed very well and although it traveled a very long way, it was delivered very promptly and arrived in perfect condition. 'Stormy Sunset' looks even more beautiful 'in person' and is a very welcome and colourful addition to my apartment.

5 out of 5 starsThere is an exact moment when, going through many images, we stop. We know that we feel something magical, unique, special. We can call it enchantment. For me, Veronika Rudez's paintings represent the breath of Barcelona's air, the incident light that pierces the beauty of its buildings, the pleasure of looking up and the joy of meeting those we love. Veronika's paintings, for their colors, their presence, give the feeling of listening to the wind that comes from the sea, the sound of the footsteps, the nightlife, the voices of the people who are sought and know how to find.
Grazie Veronika,

5 out of 5 starsI stopped on Veronika Rudez's paintings: I closed my eyes, I came back as a child and it was beautiful.
Shipping arrived very fast, packaging made with care and love, a personalized postcard inside with a sincere message written with the heart.
Thank you Veronika,
Daniela

Artist Statement and Bio
ARTIST STATEMENT
Living in a world completely dominated by the perfectly curated selfie, where reality is replaced by trends and information is obtained from social media, I feel compelled to dig deeper and expose the hidden and unseen from the world around me. Growing up in Vancouver in the 90s, watching it turn from a timid, Western Canadian big small town into a decadently rich city of glass towers, sports cars and luxury brands, contrasted by an ever growing poverty and drug problem, I moved to Barcelona only to realise that it too battles with a dual identity. The trending images of this city that bring over 30 million tourists every year have surely caught anyone’s eye. However, it didn’t take me long to discover that a much greater value of this place lies in the hidden, unseen sites that do not seem worthy of our current communication channels. I am interested in exploring these places, giving them the importance that they deserve and showing off their beauty. When I walk around I choose images to paint based both on the meaning of their content and the visual balance of colours and shapes.
BIO
I was born in Sarajevo in 1980 where I lived until the civil war broke out and forced me to seek refuge elsewhere, eventually bringing me to Vancouver, Canada where I grew up. My tumultuous childhood was driven by creativity mostly based in drawing and painting. I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and design with a Bachelors of Fine Art. I currently live, work and paint in Barcelona.
