Verónica Vázquez
Born 1970, Uruguay
Lives and works in Uruguay
Verónica Vázquez (Treinta y Tres, Uruguay) is a self-taught artist, having studied the disciplines of Drawing, Painting, Sculpting, Engraving, Ceramics, Tapestry and History of Art. Her education indicates various interests that blossom and are evident in her current work, in an integrated and mature fashion.
Choosing rugged, unyielding materials such as cardboard, metal plates and iron, Vázquez creates geometric forms that appear to be interwoven. She has a signature egalitarian treatment of the sculptures she creates and the space that surrounds them, privileging negative space so that it may be appreciated as an equal to her sculptures. Just as rhythm cannot exist without silence to accent the sound that follows, Vázquez’s forms rely on negative space.
In 2014, Piero Atchugarry Gallery started representing her work, this was followed by a solo exhibition in 2014 and another in 2015. At the end of 2019, Vázquez presented her third solo exhibition with Piero Atchugarry Gallery, Rhythm by Form and its Absence, at the Tierra Garzón location.

Verónica Vázquez: Rhythm by Form & Its Absence
December 29th, 2019 — April 12th, 2020
In December of 2019, Uruguayan artist Verónica Vázquez unveiled a new series of works for her third solo exhibition with Piero Atchugarry Gallery in Tierra Garzón. As its title suggests, Rhythm by Form and its Absence presents Vázquez’s signature egalitarian treatment of the sculptures she creates and the space that surrounds them.
Verónica Vázquez: AMO las cosas locas, locamente.
September 15 — November 5, 2022
In September of 2022, Uruguayan artist Verónica Vázquez unveiled a new series of works for first Miami solo exhibition with Piero Atchugarry Gallery. Originating from a Spanish poem entitled, "Oda a las cosas," by the award winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, the exhibition’s title reveals a powerful affirmation by the artist, professing a love for all things: old, abandoned, discarded, and forgotten. AMO las cosas locas, locamente., is a visual statement of transformation and an ethical sentiment forged from nuts & bolts, screws, steel cages, fabric, paper and thread.
