Vera Pravda deals with environmental and social issues through relational practices and participatory projects.
Vera Pravda confronts aspects of human impact on environment and on society, crystallising visive reflections through the means of decontextualisation and appropriation of languages from other fields, such as marketing and economics. Installations, art interventions, murals and paintings are intended as constructive actions to intervene positively with contemporary society, generating tangible changes. The goal is to allow the viewer to elaborate their point of view and leaving the field open to a multitude of dimensions and ideas, in a growing spiral of new meanings, increasing awareness. Vera Pravda actualises ancient techniques with modern materials, such as paints reducing air pollution and NOx or gilt on plastic wrappings. The aim is to create continuity with the past looking actively to the future, linking together a long-studied stratification of art history directly answering the public for its own point if view, in a vision that is never statutory or unique. -- Vera Pravda (Simona Sanvito - 1974) lives and works between Milan and Warsaw. After years creating art undercover in 2018 she decides to come out as an artist. Having as a starting point the inherent value of the artworks, her work is based on researches and collaborations. > find more on studiovisit. programme by senzatitolo. 2022 - finalist at ROPlasticPrize by Rossana Orlandi, Palazzo Bandello, Milan Design Week 2022 - invited artist at L’Arte della Terra Festival, Meda - invited artist at Correnti Fest, curated by chiara Arturo and Cristina Cusani - Il Giardino d'Inverno, a project by Vera Pravda and Rebecca Agnes, in collaboration with Viafarini Archive (several venues, Cascina Cuccagna, Cascina Biblioteca, Viafarini.Work - Corvetto NZSD Net Zero Sustainable Development, Giardini Condivisi di San Faustino) - #GREENISGOLD, solo show, Malpensa Airport, Terminal 1 - invited artist at ‘L’artista per la collettività’ , curated by Giacomo Zaganelli, Viafarini.work - Rispondenze, dialogues between artistic researches, 18th Contemporary Day, Milan - part of Sciame Project, by Claudia Zanfi - You may say I’m a dreamer, Condominio, Milano - 30 artisti per Medici senza frontiere Ucraina, Milano - Dipingere alberi, participatory art action, viadolcevia, Milan - March Open Studio, Viafarini Archive, Milan - Art and Change, talk at IULM - Executive Master in Persuasion, Decision and Change Management - Ricordi di spazio espaces de passage, curated by Catherine Bernabé - Green is Gold, semaine verte, Lycée Stendhal - continuation of the Art Residency at Viafarini Archive, Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan (started in 2020) 2021 - Ad Ampio Respiro, Bea McMahon | Vera Pravda | Caterina Silva, Rita Urso Artopia Gallery - #GREENISGOLD, solo show, Malpensa Airport, Terminal 1, until 2022 - December OpenStudio & Giornata del Contemporaneo, Viafarini Archive, Milan - Mappae, with Maddalena Granziera and Roberto Picchi, Spazio Giacomq, Accademia di Belle Arti Giacomo Carrara, Bergamo - Conversation with Francesco Canesi Lissoni and Federica Verona at Table of Contents#0 by Rebecca Agnes, BienNolo - Walk-inStudio, Viafarini Archive, Fabbrica del Vapore - invited artist for SUA-Urban Festival (San Vito Lo Capo) - selected artist for Falìa.AIR, Lozio (BS) - selected artist for NAHR_2021, Nature Art & Habitat Residency- ANIMALS_Interdependence between species, Taleggio Valley - NAHR Fellows PechaKucha, moderated by Architect Asli Suner - 'L'Erbario in Viaggio', curated by Claudia Zanfi, Milano Design Week - FuoriSalone (Milano Garibaldi Railway Station), FestivaLetteratura - Literature Festival (Mantua Railway Station), FestivalFilosofia - Philosophy Festival (Modena Railway Station) and Botanical Garden (Modena) - 7.
