The objective of my study is to examine image and memory. Especially so in the relation to "Das Unbewußte"
Verena Grundhammer


About
I am an Austrian artist and writer based in Barcelona, working across painting, video, and text. Grounded in a background in Modern Languages, Humanities, and Literature, my practice is informed by an ongoing engagement with philosophy, psychoanalysis, and poetry— frameworks I use to examine the structures of memory, identity, and intimacy.
My studio work spans oil and acrylic on linen, ink on paper, experimental video, and textile practices, including crochet and installations with yarn and wool. Across these mediums, I develop images and situations that feel suspended, poised between the familiar and the uncanny, inviting slow looking and layered interpretation. My work has been presented in exhibitions in London, Cairo, Santander, Cochin, Barcelona, and Bolivia, as well as in international film festivals, where several of my video works have received recognition.
Collaboration forms an integral part of my practice. I have worked closely with filmmakers and cultural collectives, contributing as Art Director on film projects and engaging in editorial and curatorial initiatives. These exchanges extend my approach to narrative and form beyond the canvas and screen, opening the work to expanded contexts and audiences.
I am currently developing new bodies of work in painting and film, while also writing my first novel as an extension of my ongoing investigation into the intersections of image, memory, and language.
