1. Veni Etiam was founded in 2014 but officially launched to the public in 2015. That is why you’ll see “EST 2014” on the logo. That one year period was the year in which I dreamed up my mission, my collection and my online shop. I designed the website though it was still unpublished for a year. The day I hit publish, I wrote my first blog post and … there was no turning back!

2. As much as Italy is my most profound inspiration, the place that acted as a kind of catalyst of my vision for Veni Etiam was the Basque Country. It was during a scientific trip to that region when I started to think more concretely and more technically about my photographic aspirations. Fun fact: the Basque country is a part of my scientific aspirations as well, so in a way the place plays two important roles for me. There are several photographs of the Basque Country in my collection. Can you spot them?

3. The first 5 photographs ever printed with the Veni Etiam Photography logo on them were Laguna Mia (canvas), Underground (canvas), Plentzia (acrylic), Light on the Lake (canvas) and A Windowful of Sky (acrylic). These were printed for individuals I knew, before Veni Etiam was officially launched.

4. When I first launched my online shop in 2015, I only offered wall-art on canvas, metal, acrylic and wood. It was when I kept getting asked about fine-art prints that I decided to include those in my web-shop and opened up an Etsy shop that focused on small-sized prints.

5. Before I found my new home and studio in Montreal, Veni Etiam basically consisted of a big red plastic bin of prints and a big box of shipping materials hidden (not so inconspicuously) under my bed.
I hope you enjoyed these five fun facts! Leave a comment and tell me which one was your favorite.
