In her artistic practice, Veronika Tzekova primarily engages with intervention, appropriation, and participation, focusing on rethinking and transforming objects, situations, and systems. In recent years, she has realized numerous projects in public space. She was an associate artist with IN SITU, the European platform for artistic creation in public space, as part of the (UN)COMMON SPACES project (2020–2024).

Since 2013, Tzekova has been working on CDoupbles, a project exploring the visual construction and perception of language. A selection from the series was exhibited in 2017 in the solo show "Man muß die spRACHE quälen, bis sie schreibt" in Graz. Since 2018, her syllaBLEndings series has been displayed on four illuminated boxes in public spaces, with verses changing monthly. In 2020, she launched the ongoing exhibition SchAUGEnuss at hybrid space  Atelier 12 in Graz, Austria, featuring several  themed exhibitions each year.

Applying the CDoupbles concept, she created site-specific installations at 15 different locations as part of AUDIO IBRIDA by ZONA K in Milan, Italy (2022). In 2023, she produced sosEINdrücke, a series of 12 installations in public and rural spaces as part of the La Strada Festival in Graz.
