Verito

Veronica Pacheco was born on December 7, 1979 in Lima, Peru. When she was 2 years old, she was diagnosed as being severely mentally challenged. ‘Verito’, as shes likes to be called, has achieved to develop in diverse human fields, in which art outstands.

Verito’s art work is characterized by her characters, mainly harlequins, who live in her fantastic world, full of color and joy, full of movement and freedom, surrounded by balloons, musical notes and hearts.

Verito’s paintings are classified in 3 styles: Primary Fantastic, Recycled Fantastic and Intermediate Fantastic. The Primary Fantastic Style is characterized by characters that flow from her own imagination. The characters of her Recycled Fantastic Style are born from the interpretation of pre-existing models of clowns, scarecrows, puppets, dancers, artists, etc. The intermediate Fantastic Style is a fusion between both previous styles.

The trace of her drawings characterizes her artistic development, in oil and acrylic, as well as in watercolor and ink. Verito uses diverse formats, beyond the traditional ones.

Verito loves to title every single one of her paintings. In some cases, her characters have their own name. As soon as an idea spreads up, Verito titles it immediately. Some titles are not grammatically correct, but they have been conserved with the original name, to respect her creative imagination.

It is very interesting to observe how each title represents the general idea of the painting.

“…Congratulations and greetings! Verito’s work is amazing. A few years ago, I was deeply moved by a TV news about her life and art… This weekend, I had the chance to go with my daughters to the current exhibition she has at the Cultural Center. I don’t have enough words to describe the feelings and emotions that her paintings provoke deep inside me. It made me extremely happy to notice that my daughters felt the same way. It is wonderful. She is wonderful. Greetings to her family, lots of care and love for Verito...”
