vera pravda confronts aspects of human impact on environment and on society, crystallising visive reflections through the means of decontextualisation and appropriation of languages. Installations and paintings are intended as constructive actions to intervene positively with contemporary society, generating tangible changes. vera pravda actualises ancient techniques with modern materials, such as paintings reducing NOx and pollution or gilt on plastic wrappings, to enable viewers to confront in a multitude of dimensions with the most demanding themes of our modernity. 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.
