Veronika Desova is an emerging multimedia creative born in Varna, Bulgaria and currently based in Glasgow, UK. She is predominantly engaged in the field of architecture, painting and photography. Her artistic practice began in 2018 when she received the RSA John Kinross Travel Scholarship to Florence. There, she developed a body of work consisting of pastel paintings and double exposure analog photographs which served as a tool to interpret and distort the city’s urban fabric through the process of layering, over-exposing and blurring. This method of representation gradually got translated into her developing painting and photography practice. Veronika’s works are informed by the tactile nature of fabrics she uses for her paintings where the medium becomes the message. Alongside these modes of expression, Veronika is also an architect at Stallan-Brand Architects. Designing buildings involves the frequent use of tracing paper on a daily basis and this layering of form onto semi translucent paper is a method she also translates in her paintings and multiple exposure photography.
