Artful Bonds

Dec. 1st 2024 - Jan 28th 2025

Welcome to "Artful Bonds," a unique showcase that celebrates the profound connections between humans and their pets, reflecting the care, love, and companionship that define our relationships with our furry friends.

At VetiVa, we believe that the well-being of pets extends beyond medical care to encompass emotional and environmental enrichment. The artworks in this exhibition embody the spirit of this philosophy, inviting visitors to explore the intricate bonds we share with our pets and the beauty of the world around us.

Mia’s Animal Sugar Porcelain Series pays tribute to the enduring love between humans and their pets, using fragile yet resilient materials to symbolize the delicate nature of life. Each piece serves as a reminder to cherish every moment with our companions, resonating deeply with the values of compassion and care that VetiVa stands for.

Leon Lollipop’s “Dragon Mosaic: and “Kitty Mosaisc” adds a playful touch, featuring a majestic dragon and a playful kitten surrounded by koi fish and butterflies. These artworks complement Mia’s work beautifully, emphasizing the beauty of nature and the joy of companionship, while also urging us to embrace our imaginative spirits.

Yulia Shautsukova’s “Magenta Bloom”, “Enamour Garden” and “Awakening” further enriches the exhibition by capturing the vibrant energy of nature around us. Her use of color and organic forms invites viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty that surrounds them, echoing the tranquil yet lively environment we strive to create at VetiVa.

The curation of this exhibit was skillfully handled by Julie Petris from Art Future Club, an organization that believes art is an essential part of human expression and should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. This ethos resonates deeply with the mission of VetiVa, enhancing the exhibition's focus on connection and community.

As you walk through the grand entrance, allow the vibrant works of Mia, Leon, and Yulia to guide you into a world where art meets the essence of companionship and care. Each piece encourages reflection on the joys of pet ownership and the simple pleasures of life, reminding us to celebrate the incredible moments that enrich our lives. "Artful Bonds" is not just an exhibition; it is a celebration of love, beauty, and resilience. We invite you to immerse yourself in this unique experience, fostering a deeper connection with both the art and the pets that inspire it.

All artworks are available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds donated to charity, supporting causes that resonate with our mission of compassion and care for animals. Join us in honoring the remarkable relationships we share with our beloved companions at VetiVa.
