Veronica Mecchia

Italian photographer born in Paris, Veronica Mecchia grew up in Milan, where she first studied art history and then photography with Giuliana Traverso at the "Il Diaframma" Gallery in Milan.
In 2003, she returned to Paris, where she continued her training in art history before devoting herself entirely to photography.
Her artistic filiation with photographer Arno Rafael Minkkinen, whom she studied with in Italy and whom she considers her mentor, is reflected in a compelling propensity to maintain an organic link with nature.
Her black & white photography explores the relationship between man and his environment in a personal way. Through assertive artistic choices: argentique, self-portraiture, black & white, nudity; she imprints her state of mind and reveals a unique identity with a universal character.
Inscribing herself poetically in the ephemeral, as if absorbed by the beauty of the things or places that move her, Veronica Mecchia's photographs encourage us to suspend time in gentle contemplation, leaving us with a light heart and the desire, like her, to poetically inhabit the world.
Presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions, his photographs and artist's books can be found in private collections in Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Greece, the USA, Switzerland and Japan.
His artist's book "Fotografie" (Paris, May 2016) and two of his photographs are part of the "anti- Aufklärung 2019" collection and have been acquired by the Bibliothèque Kandinsky at the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris).
Her photographs have been shown at La Sorbonne art gallery in Paris and in a solo exhibition at Remèdes galerie.
