Anya Vero explores the blurred lines between art and anthropology, with a signature style of oil painted on silk stretched over asymmetrical canvases that play with explicit non-conformity. She draws on her anthropological research to explore the human condition through her paintings, with themes such as human trafficking, abuse, depression and oppression, but also sensuality, relationships and the human body. Her work often revolves around female empowerment, sexuality and being.She has exhibited at various galleries including the TATE Modern Exchange in London and Museum LV in Riga.
While in London she created Art for Freedom, a series focused on human trafficking, working in partnership with two Mexican organisations - SINTRATA and the Comisión Unidos Contra la Trata. She painted portraits from photographs of the survivors they work with, exhibiting them alongside their stories about their experiences. The collection was showcased at a multidisciplinary event at Carousel Gallery in London Mayfair, with talks by a leading Human Rights barrister, the international anti-slavery charity A21 and bespoke creations by a perfumer and a songwriter.
In London she also took part in the Self Impressions Tate Exchange event at the Tate Modern, organised by the Institute of Philosophy, University of London, exploring different elements of identity alongside a line-up of leading philosophers and neuroscientists.
In 2023 she released Women Groundbreakers, 33 paintings in oil on silk of leading women across the arts, sciences and humanities, at a special event in Vienna at Area 1070 Gallery on International Women’s Day (8th March), alongside performances and mini-lectures about these groundbreakers’ lives and work.
Her upcoming exhibition, Looking For Home, will be unveiled in October 2025 at a special exhibition in a nuclear bunker, at the RAF Museum in Neatishead, England.
