Working primarily with acrylic and oil on canvas, her art recurrently incorporates natural motifs, with vibrant flowers, animals and landscapes gracing her compositions. Her latest works feature large, bold flower forms, their thick stems resembling tree trunks that highlight Vera’s fascination with translating the human experience into representations of organic beauty. “The flowers remind me of children – each one is unique,” she explains. Originally trained as a graphic designer and documentary filmmaker, Vera has always found painting to be her truest calling, though she enjoys creating small ceramic sculptures when time allows. Her creative process is quick and intuitive, often resulting in finished pieces within a day or two. “My inspiration comes from the emotions I experience, with the subjects arising from deep within me,” Vera shares, citing contemporary female painters such as Miriam Cahn, Christina Quarles and Emma Kohlmann as influences, whose works explore themes of gender and identity, not unlike her own artistic journey. “My art is very much inspired by nature. The biggest artist of all time is Mother Nature, after all,” she says. This connection to the natural world continues to inform her art today, both in subject matter and in how she approaches colour and composition. She later moved to Copenhagen to study art history and design, bringing this perspective with her as she developed her practice further.
