Vera Uvarova was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1989, grew up in a family of creatives and intellectuals and developed interest in art from the early age. She graduated from the Moscow Stroganoff academy of industrial and applied arts and was working as a motion graphic designer and video editor on a Russian TV Chanel.
Vera did her first art project after a car crash that left her immobile for four month in 2008. Curated by Olga Sviblova, the project "800 Hours on My Back with an iPhone in Hand" was shown within a larger "Fashion & Style" show for young photographers.
Vera had been searching for the inspiration on the streets of Los Angeles, Paris and Berlin before she was adopted by the streets of Barcelona in 2014.
In her artistic practice, she works with different media raging from photography to painting and is particularly attracted by the theme of city life. Her characters and the stories for her art works are rooted in contemporary subcultures, such as hip-hop and skateboarding.
