Verny Sanchez

Verny Sanchez is a Venezuelan/American artist whose creative practices include painting, installations, assemblages, drawing and sculpture. His work, which is constructed on a continuum between abstraction and representation, explores themes of expression, communication and emotion in compositions that often blend the real and the imaginary. A distinctive pictorial language, first inspired by the ancient petroglyphs he encountered as a youth in Venezuela, has become a unique vernacular in his work that hints at an ongoing quest for identification through visual dialogue.

Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, in 1973, Verny earned a degree in graphic design at the Instituto de Diseño de Caracas, where he later returned to lead the graphic design program as Director. He has also held teaching posts at The Altos de Chavón School of Design in the Dominican Republic, the Centro de Diseño Digital de Caracas in Venezuela, and the European Design Institute in Madrid, Spain.

Verny lived in Spain for 12 years, and became an artist-in-residence at La Escocesa, a self-managed visual artistic production center in Barcelona. His work has been exhibited in solo shows in Barcelona and Caracas, as well as in group shows in New York, Miami, Houston,...
