Dr. Veronica Cordova de la Rosa creates art as a means to explore the world from a philosophical, aesthetic, and ethical perspective. Her goal is to inspire people to embrace art as an important part of their well-being and lifestyle, both through experiencing and collecting art. She wants to help people think about how they can cope with the overwhelming visual stimuli of today’s world and find solace and centering through art. Her artistic journey began with solid studies in Fine Arts and Art History at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Building on that, she earned a master’s degree in public art and eventually a doctorate in practice. During her research, she explored her own self-perception when confronted with violent images of the Mexican drug war. This investigation led her to create powerful images, sculptures, and performative actions that allow her to confront and engage with issues of violence. Dr. Cordova de la Rosa currently lives in London, UK, and was an adjunct lecturer and visiting scholar at Oxford Brookes University. In 2016, she founded the Live Art and Performance Group, where she curates and organizes compelling art events. Working with talented artists, curators, and organizations, she strives to create unique and ephemeral experiences that leave a lasting impression. She is proud to be from Mexico and acknowledges her protected characteristics in the UK, but considers herself a citizen of the world and a member of the global community. Furthermore, as a neurodiverse person, characterized by hypersensitivity and introversion, she brings a unique perspective to her art. After a year of experiencing firsthand the challenges of living with Long Covid, Dr. Cordova de la Rosa became an ardent advocate of radical self-care.
