true picture
-
It’s a rare pleasure to witness how a voice can reach so deeply and directly into the heart and soul...True Picture offers a deeply moving acoustic and aesthetic experience.
-
An album on which Veronika touches the heart of the music... With True Picture, she proves that her approach captures the essence of the music in a beautifully and convincing way.
-
The effect is impressive […] – we can speak of clean, minimalist songs that are at once respectful of tradition yet redesigned in a fresh way.
-
Veronika shows that even on her own she has more than enough talent to make an impression.
-
Veronika's Hungarian and Greek folk songs blend effortlessly in her sound world, forming a musical landscape that transcends borders.
-
She sings the distinctive Hungarian and Greek vocals, with all their characteristic ornamentation and tonalities, with great, supple skill, in a clear, agile, and convincing voice, with beautiful inflections.
True Picture serves as a musical self-portrait highlighting Veronika’s two defining forms of expression: singing and double bass.
"Veronika – my name – means ‘true picture’. This is the essence of the little musical world I’ve created, filled with dreams, nature, femininity, and melodies of love. I share a valuable part of my truest self and the music within me."
The album features traditional Hungarian and Greek songs, arranged in unique interpretations with guest musicians such as Ion Curteanu cimbalom player, Benedek Réti accordeonist, and the a cappella ensemble Lemonokipos (Fruzsina Hódi, Sára Zolnai, Ilka Kisgyörgy).

Analog photographic illustration for my album
by Luca Markó
For my first album, I envisioned an analogue photographic illustration. This dream was brought to life by Luca Markó, the amazing photographer whose images, to me, perfectly and movingly capture the almost invisible yet deeply significant details of the world.
Softness, tenderness, melancholy, femininity, light and shadow, reflections… Everything the songs carry within them is echoed in the photos as well.
