SNAPSHOTS
The exhibition Snapshots that Vicky presents at the Drap-Art Gallery is a collection of instantaneous images that capture human dramas between fleeting frames. The works, combining poetry, ceramics, iron, and recycled materials, can be seen as ephemeral photographs created to provoke reflection.

“If looking at these “instances” or listening to my poems, you feel anguish, uneasiness, concern, indignation or hope, the world may not be in danger of extinction. This project reflects on the human condition and persistent injustices, offering a light of hope.” says the artist.

Vicky is a multidisciplinary artist with studies in fashion, ceramics, narrative and illustration. In the year 2000, after finishing her training in ceramics, she started her artistic carreer and became involved in solidarity and environmental initiatives. In 2014, she incorporated natural items into her ceramic work and starting in 2017 she began to include social denunciation into her art, addressing issues such as immigration, segregation and human injustices. In 2018 she created “TRANSFORM-ARTE”, a brand based on the recovery of waste materials to create functional art, recycling furniture and clothing. She has participated in exhibitions and festivals and was a finalist of the 2021 Agbar Prize.
