Portraits painted in oil and shadow, where the human face meets something older and stranger. From starlit women to creatures at the edge of dream—this is painting that remembers.
Where figures become myth
FIGURATIVE PAINTING | MYTH & MEMORY
A painter drawn to faces, myths, and the strange creatures that live between them. Vera's work is rooted in the figurative tradition — oil on wood, pencil on paper — but pulled toward something darker and more personal than portraiture alone.
Her studio is a cabinet of curiosities: ink bottles, antique keys, a wall covered floor to ceiling in studies and obsessions. The paintings that come out of it carry that same sense of accumulation — layered, slow, full of things worth looking at twice.
She has been painting since she could hold a brush and has never really stopped asking the same question — what lives inside a face that a photograph can't reach? The answer, for her, is always another painting.

collector notes
from the collectors
— JAMES F., LONDON
“I've collected for twenty years. Vera's work stopped me the way very few things do — that immediate, physical sense that something in front of you matters. I own two pieces now and I'm waiting on a third.”
— SOPHIE D., PARIS
“There's a quality in her work that's very rare — it feels ancient and completely alive at the same time. The piece I own looks like it could have been painted in another century, and also like nothing else I've ever seen.”
— THOMAS & MARA K., VIENNA
“We commissioned a portrait as an anniversary gift and weren't prepared for how moved we'd be when we saw it. She didn't just paint a face — she painted something true about the person. We don't quite know how she did it.”
— ELENA R., NEW YORK
“I bought the painting before it was finished. I saw a photo of it mid-process and knew I couldn't let it leave without me. It hangs in my bedroom now and I still find things in it I hadn't noticed before.”
