Press Release

Self-taught Indonesian artist Sonya Veronica brings an innate sensitivity to her explorations of color and line. Deep reds and browns flow alongside saffron, gold and black in waves that suggest flame, water, wood, and even the human body. Yet despite the volatile colors and dramatic upsweep, there is no turmoil evident in these works. The spectrum of her color choices, and her eye for visual juxtaposition, conjures a unified passion on Veronica's canvases which can also be traced to her long interest in music. Veronica has spoken of song as a major influence for her, and with a composer's skill she has woven a harmonious sensibility into her work.

Like classical music, her paintings contain a confident ability to bring forth feelings and moods from the purely abstract. A forceful visual rhythm pervades Sonya Veronica's intense yet buoyant works, offering us a cohesive visual whole that explores light and dark as mutually dependent artistic entities. She was born in Surabaya, Indonesia, and lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
