While discovering her artistic voice, Vera experiments with various art subjects and styles. Her current practice aims to explore socio-cultural issues through depictions of portraits, landscapes, objects, architecture and cultural symbols of Moldova and Romania. Her motivation comes from her personal experience as an immigrant who has experienced unrecognition, isolation and unsettlement as a minor cultural identity. Vera believes that through visual representations she can raise awareness of her culture, which is often unrecognized by the Western-dominated global discourse.
Art Projects
In April 2022, Vera’s painting “The Eternal Peace” was exhibited at Artcor Center, in Chisinau, as part of an art project that aimed to support Ukrainian refugees in Moldova.
In August 2021, Vera participated in an art project that celebrated the 30th anniversary of Moldova’s independence. The artworks painted as part of this project allude to Moldova’s struggle against the Russian controlling power, whilst reflecting the influence of the Soviet culture on Moldova’s identity.
