Art

For Venika, art is not only a medium of expression but also a therapeutic outlet. She has been guided by skillful masters of their craft: Shri Bablu Basak, Philippe Vermès, Joel Sternfeld and Mathias de Lattre. And sometimes, Youtube tutorials. It is something she strives to continue to practice, for the love of the craft and her mental health.
