Biography

Born 1970, Uruguay Lives and works in Uruguay Verónica Vázquez (Treinta y Tres, Uruguay) is a self-taught artist, having studied the disciplines of Drawing, Painting, Sculpting, Engraving, Ceramics, Tapestry and History of Art. Her education indicates various interests that blossom and are evident in her current work, in an integrated and mature fashion. Choosing rugged, unyielding materials such as cardboard, metal plates and iron, Vázquez creates geometric forms that appear to be interwoven. She has a signature egalitarian treatment of the sculptures she creates and the space that surrounds them, privileging negative space so that it may be appreciated as an equal to her sculptures. Just as rhythm cannot exist without silence to accent the sound that follows, Vázquez’s forms rely on negative space. In 2014, Piero Atchugarry Gallery started representing her work, this was followed by a solo exhibition in 2014 and another in 2015. At the end of 2019, Vázquez presented her third solo exhibition with Piero Atchugarry Gallery, Rhythm by Form and its Absence, at the Tierra Garzón location.
