Revealing the Invisible: Véronique Durruty’s Ethereal Art at Kalinka Gallery, Pondicherry

Step into a world where silence speaks and shadows breathe. Kalinka Art Gallery presents Revealing the Invisible, a solo exhibition by acclaimed artist Véronique Durruty, unfolding from 5ᵗʰ to 31ˢᵗ December 2025 in the heart of Pondicherry. Now, for the first time in India, Galerie Kalinka hosts her solo exhibition, offering viewers in Pondicherry a rare glimpse into her ethereal universe.

French artist Véronique Durruty invites all to see beyond the surface.

Through photography and visual art, she explores the world of senses—real and imagined—blending mediums to create dreamlike experiences. Her work gently questions what we call beauty, what we believe is real, and what often goes unseen. Represented by several galleries in France, Véronique Durruty’s art continues to travel—touching hearts, stirring thoughts, and revealing the invisible.

Véronique Durruty: A Global Voice in Visual Art

For nearly three decades, Véronique Durruty has shaped a remarkable journey in art and photography. With over 40 published books and solo exhibitions across the world—from London, Brussels, New York, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo to celebrated venues in France like the Jardin du Luxembourg, Arles Photography Festival, the Dapper Museum, and the MuCem in Marseille—her work has touched audiences far and wide. Her creations live in both public and private collections across continents, including Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Japan, Morocco, Senegal, and the USA, affirming her place as a truly global artist whose vision transcends borders.

In his book La Photographie en France, des origines à nos jours, Critic Claude Nori beautifully describes the work of Véronique Durruty.

Claude Nori writes that her lens gathers emotions and vibrations into images that are intimate, sensual and mysterious, always composed with harmony and grace.

“Her photographic lens conveys emotions and vibrations into a harvest of images that are intimate, sensual, mysterious, always harmoniously composed (…). Her personal work exalts the harmony and beauty of colors, sounds, scents, landscapes and bodies, and several books of great aesthetic and formal freedom stand as truly original creative works.” –Claude Nori

Renowned artist Véronique Durruty, who has visited India over twenty times and Pondicherry five, recalls her most profound journey in 2006:

“Pondicherry holds a serenity unlike anywhere else in India. My most striking memory is from 2006, when I spent three months at the Ashram with my daughter—she was immersed in Bharatanatyam, and I in photography. One of those images now lives on in the exhibition Revealing the Invisible.” — Véronique Durruty
