The artist
Verónica Adriana Krivohlavy (Krivah) is a visual artist from Mar del Plata, Argentina, who creates contemporary mixed-media art: she combines acrylic paint with natural elements and reused materials, such as branches, stones, buttons, bottle caps, corks and reclaimed wood. She presents her work under the VeroKriarte brand, has the hummingbird as her symbol and carries the motto “You deserve what you dream of”. She is a member artist of Pulso Galería and an Honorary Member of C.I.A. · UNOTA.
I’m Verónica Adriana Krivohlavy, a visual artist from Mar del Plata, Argentina.
My path in art is deeply tied to transformation, to emotions, and to the possibility of turning experiences, memories and personal processes into a work of art.
I work mainly in mixed media, combining acrylics, textures, natural elements and reused materials. I like to incorporate branches, stones, buttons, bottle caps, corks, flowers and other objects that take on a new meaning once they become part of a work.
Each piece is born from an emotion, an idea or a story. I’m not only seeking to create an image, but to build a work with identity, movement and meaning.
The hummingbird is part of my visual universe and appears in different ways throughout my work, as a symbol of movement, transformation and freedom.
My work is constantly evolving, but one thing remains: the desire to create from what is authentic and to turn what I’ve lived into art.
You deserve what you dream of.
Matter, symbol and color
My work unfolds mainly through mixed media, combining acrylic paint with textures, natural elements and reused materials.
I use rigid supports, handmade canvases and reclaimed wood, and I often incorporate elements such as branches, stones, buttons, bottle caps, corks, shells, flowers and other objects that become part of the composition.
I want every material to have a purpose within the work. I don’t add them merely as decoration: I want them to carry the story, the emotion or the concept I wish to convey.
Hummingbirds, spirals, butterflies, branches, the sea, female figures and nature appear again and again in my visual universe.
My palette tends to move through aqua greens, turquoises, earth tones, oranges and soft hues, though each work finds its own language.
Each piece is unique and handmade, so that paint, materials and meaning can live together in a single story.
All the supports I use (polystyrene board, wood and handmade canvas) are prepared beforehand with several coats of gesso before I start painting.
Handmade canvases are always prepared this way, to work the surface and give it the finish I am looking for.
All my works have a hanging system made with recycled bottle caps, adapted and worked to serve a practical function within the piece.
This resource is part of my artistic identity and of my way of reusing everyday materials, giving them a new use without losing the handmade character of each work.
More than a technical detail, the hanging system made with recycled bottle caps is also a small extension of the VeroKriarte / Krivah philosophy: transform, reuse and create with meaning.
I deliver my works with their certificate of authenticity.
Original art · One-of-a-kind pieces
My works are organized into three collections, by support: handmade canvas, reclaimed wood and polystyrene board. Pick one to browse it. Each piece is one of a kind and handmade; to ask about price and availability, I’ll reply on WhatsApp.
8 works
See reference pricesWorks on a rigid support with handmade canvas. Canvases are always prepared with several coats of gesso, to work the surface and give it the finish I am looking for.
There are no works marked as available in this collection right now. You can ask me about any of them or about a commissioned work.
These works are made on reclaimed wood, chosen and prepared by hand to become a new artistic support.
Each piece receives several coats of gesso before the painting begins. The compositions are drawn entirely by hand and painted with acrylics.
Depending on each work, I add natural elements and different appliqués that become part of the composition and bring texture, volume and meaning.
The process ends with a protective finish of polyurethane varnish or matte lacquer, depending on the characteristics and needs of each piece.
Working on reclaimed wood is also part of how I create: reusing, transforming and giving a new story to a material that already had another life.
There are no works marked as available in this collection right now. You can ask me about any of them or about a commissioned work.
These works are made on a polystyrene board support, prepared beforehand with several coats of gesso.
Each composition is drawn entirely by hand and painted with acrylics. Depending on the work, I add natural elements and different appliqués that become part of the composition and bring texture, volume and meaning.
The final finish can be matte lacquer or polyurethane varnish, depending on the characteristics and needs of each piece.
Every work keeps the handmade character of VeroKriarte / Krivah, from the preparation of the support to the final details.
To introduce this section, I would like to begin with two works that speak especially of my artistic identity, because they reflect elements, symbols and resources that run through much of my work.
Flight · the work I started the project with
Action with Soul · the work with which I gave my name to my works
On polystyrene board I started with simple designs of stones and branches, and over time the works became more complex. These simpler, handcrafted pieces are still available because people loved them: they are souvenirs, decorative objects and special personalized orders. Since the branches and stones are natural, no two are identical, but if you like one I can make one very similar.
They are delivered with a lovely presentation, but without a certificate: I keep the certificate of authenticity for the more complex works and those shown in exhibitions.

Words
Words are also an important part of VeroKriarte. Many are born from the same processes, emotions and experiences that inspire my works.
You deserve what you dream of.
Here I breathe, here I am.
Begin again as many times as it takes.
Flying is also letting go of what no longer weighs.
