Available to hire
I’m Weronika Welihodska, an artist and photographer based in Lucerne, Switzerland, focused on contemporary photography and visual media. My practice and research revolve around strong concept development, visual storytelling across formats, and thoughtful image analysis—always with an eye for how ideas become images.
In addition to my artistic work, I enjoy supporting creative communities and institutions through communication and production. I’ve worked on social media and external communications for a photography platform, assisted an exhibiting artist in studio and exhibition contexts, and also bring a customer- and service-minded background from banking—helping me collaborate smoothly, plan effectively, and present work with care.
