Weronika Anna Rosa was born in Warsaw in 1990, a year after the Berlin wall fell. Searching for beauty in a grey reality has always been her natural instinct. She grew up in a family involved in arts and natural sciences. These two distant and, at the same time complementary worlds, constitute a strong pillar of her visual sensibility, directing her curiosity and further artistic researches. In her family home, there were always cut flowers on the table and some pots with plants in every room. Rapidly, they become her favourite subject to paint, because they are full of life and small miracles.

Her artworks are strongly influenced by the naturalistic education she received from her grandparents, both researcher and biochemists. Each painting starts with a careful observation of the nature and is preceded by a series of botanical studies. She is passionate about colour and uses bold, yet harmonious combinations of pigments.

In her latest projects, the artist focuses on relationships between plants and humans, current socio-environmental factors and plants threatened with extinction. Rosa captures the ephemeral matter of nature, looking into its strength and fragility, imperfections and beauty. She intends to express the identity of plants by observing their essence, and by analysing their history and role in our culture. This naturalistic representation becomes a universal and metaphorical language.

Currently, she is working on her project “Traces of Memories”, creating an intersection between creativity and conservation of nature, which will be featured at the National Museum of Natural History and Science in Lisbon, in July 2025.
