Biography
Veronica Chacón
Born in Bogotà
in 1975,
this young Swiss/Colombian mezzo soprano is an opera singer,
established in London.
When
I arrived in London ten years ago
to study singing, my new teacher asked
me to save my voice and
not to sing too much, except during the lessons.
It was so difficult not to be able to express myself
that I started to paint a lot, using my previous experience in
art therapy for children...
Veronica also teaches
piano and French and has designed illustrations for children. She is a skilled
engraver on glass, crystal, silver and gold too…
Her latest passion is
serigraphy…
Painting and drawing
is helping her to find the calm and the peace of mind necessary to work
on her voice.
Veronica’s paintings
can be described
as
minimalist-monochrome.
Specially interested
in the line, in the movement of the women’s body’s shape, she likes to refine
the subject until the contours and silhouettes are expressed in their simplest
way…
…breathing
is the most
important
thing whatever
I
am painting of singing…
Currently,
Veronica is working
on
commissioned
painting,
work for her next exhibitions in London
and prepares a French recital
tour
in Switzerland, Germany, Spain & England...
