Veronika Benoni’s captivating original artwork truly shines in every sense of the word, as some of her mixed media originals include both gold and silver leaf, bringing new perspectives when viewed at different angles. To truly appreciate their beauty, they need to be viewed in person as the images simply don’t do her work justice.
Veronika enjoyed painting as a child. Memories from her childhood connected with the painting and conversations with her Grandfather remain the strongest influence on her life. She studied art in Eastern Europe where she was raised, graduating from college and continuing her studies in art.
During one of her summer vacations she met Ulian Benoni. Their interests coincided and they spent some time as silver-smiths, where jewellery pieces designed by Veronika and Ulian were bestsellers in European jewellery stores. Later on they settled in Prague and Veronika painted and sold pictures strongly influenced by old Prague itself with its fascinating streets and architecture. In 1998 Benoni established their school of graphics and painting. In the year 2001 they opened in Mala Strana, Prague central area.
These days the Benoni School would refer to itself as to a concept of new artistic techniques of rendering the polydimensional reality on a flat picture surface. The elliptical perspective method is meant to create for the viewer an illusion of being drawn inside the composition centre. Alongside with these activities the school apprentices directed by the Benoni masters continue to develop the traditional trends of modern painting.
