Biography
Verónica Arís was born in Santiago, Chile. She holds two degrees from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile: one in visual arts (2002) and the other in philosophy (2011). During this period, she also moved to Buenos Aires (2004-2008), where she continued her philosophical studies in phenomenology with Professor Roberto Walton at the UBA. Her interest in phenomenology brought her to Belgium, where she completed a Master’s degree at KU Leuven (2016). On her arrival in Belgium, Arís decided to turn her attention to the visual arts, creating a series of charcoal portraits to broaden philosophical discussions outside the academic field. This has two main implications for her: on the one hand, it brings philosophy back to everyday life, and on the other, it transforms the aesthetic experience of visual art into a meaningful scenario for discussion, reflection and self-knowledge. This has led her to take part in group and solo exhibitions in Brussels, Basel, Zagreb, London, Verviers, Miami, Eschweiler and Saint-Denis.
