About the Artwork:
These pieces are inspired in the out of body experience stories. There is no gravity in this dreamlike state, but still a connection with the earth through the element of water. In many ancient cultures the humans are usually accompanied by their pets to those inter dimensional spaces and the afterlife. Bubbles are always symbols of the transcendental, the unknown, or the ephemeral.

(Artist Bio)
Veronica Jaeger was born and grew up in Venezuela and moved to the United States in 2000. She received a M.F.A degree from the University of Texas Pan-American in 2006. Her work has been exhibited and awarded in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad.
The main focus of her work is to explore the meaning of consciousness through an ephemeral world of imaginary subjects merging with different elements: geometric shapes, lines, bubbles, ears, feet, eyes, clouds, heads. These elements symbolize transformation, life, death, and the impermanence of all forms and all things. Her ideas are mostly expressed using oil paints on canvas and drawings on paper.
