Queenkong
Lucerne / Switzerland
Vero and Marco Schmid are a duo of Swiss artists. They have been working together under the name “QueenKong” since 2009. In the cooperative process, they both found ways to express themselves individually. The result is a synergy of images that focus on factors that create positive vibrations. They like to be inspired by things that cross their path.
A mutual interconnection is gently but firmly reflected in their work. The diversity of their style knows no boundaries and is often characterized by a combination of multi-layering and simplicity. They use elaborate stencil repetitions and the recurring knitting motif. They create bold, colorful images. The combination of their work is characterized by many years of experience with spray painting (since 1992) and the relaxed approach with the brush, which also allows for imperfection.
The origins of graphic design, as well as a passion for imagery in the form of photography and film, are repeatedly reflected in their art. QueenKong loves to share color and good vibes. They have also given workshops for children in Mozambique, Brazil and Switzerland. The family expanded with the birth of their daughter Marla Amber in 2018.
